Don't Foget FIELD TRIP

Don't forget on April 6th (the day we come back from Spring Break) we are going on a field trip to the Mac computer store at the St. Johns Town Center. We will be at the store creating a ton of cool things from 10-12 and then we are going to McDonalds for lunch. You need to bring your own money for your lunch. You are allowed to bring a bag lunch, but either way figure out how you are eating and don't forget.

Amelia Earhart

Here is some information on Amelia Earhart. Remember nobody really know what happened to her. If you get your parents permission to google "Amelia Earhart" there are some other really good sites that had more pictures. I thought it was neat to see what people dressed like during that time.-Mrs. Biegun

Reading Logs

Lately we have had some people NOT logging in all the great books that they are reading. Remember to log in your books after you finish them. Your book log is in the back of your agenda. The reading celebration is fast approaching and I would hate to have someone from the best 3rd grade class sit out. Your March goal is 3 books, which should be a piece of cake.
