Just a Note:
On Thursday and Friday of next week (March 21 & 22), I will be headed to a technology conference in Detroit. This is an amazing opportunity for teachers and educators to learn about practical ways to implement technology into instruction and curriculum. I look forward to this time of learning. As a result, the students will have a guest teacher. They are in the hands of a good educator!
On FRIDAY, I sent home a swimming lesson form. This flier needs to be signed by a parent or guardian. Please send that signed slip of paper back to school ASAP. Thank you. We would like all the papers collected by spring break.
Conferences:
Our 2nd semester conferences are Student-Led conferences. These conferences are such an awesome time for celebrating the 3rd grade growth that we've seen, and also coming together to challenge your child in the last few months of 3rd grade. One question your child will ask you at conferences will be, "Mom & Dad, what do you think I'm good at? What are my special gifts and qualities?" Think about this ahead of time, and come with a mental list of some of the ways that you want to encourage your child in who God has created him/her to be!
