Monday Lunch Helpers: Join us for lunch! We eat lunch in our classroom from 11:30-12:00. You will have an opportunity to meet and talk with your child's classmates in 3rd grade, make sure they stay in their seats until they are finished, and give everyone permission to leave at 12:00. During this time, I will have the opportunity to meet with the other 3rd grade teachers and plan for our instruction. Right now, we are asking volunteers to wear a mask in the classroom or have a medical wavier.
