Winter Break Book Exchange Thursday, December 19th
Winter Celebrations Around the World Party
Our class
will be having a Winter Celebrations Around the World party on Thursday,
December 19 from 1:00 to 2:30. The kids go to P.E. at 3:00 and then we
will return for a book exchange.
For our
Winter Celebrations Around the World, we will be doing various crafts
representing several of the countries our class has been researching. I’m
looking for volunteers to help with each of the crafts. I could also use some
help setting things up during lunch from 12:00 to 12:30. If you are
available next Thursday afternoon and would like to help, please email me and
let me know.
One of
the activities will be decorating gingerbread cookies and I would also like to
serve some healthy snacks. I will order and buy the cookies and frosting
but I could use some help with the rest. We will need the following
items:
Cups
Small plates
Napkins
Juice
Assorted small candy for decorating
cookies – mini m&ms, red Twizzlers, etc…
Healthy Snack – fruit, cheese,
crackers? Veggies? Any good ideas?
All parents and siblings are
welcome to come join the party. Please let me know if you are bringing
any siblings so I can order extra cookies for them to decorate.
After the party and P.E. the kids
will return to class for our Winter Break Book Exchange. Please see attached flyer for more
information.
Thank you for all that you do!

Off to a Great Start!
Our third grade class is off to a great start! We've hit the ground running and the kids in our class are doing a wonderful job learning the new routines and procedures in B-4. We've been building a community of readers, mathematicians, authors, collaborators and learners.
We have some exciting activities coming up with the Naturescape/Barnwell Garden Care Day this Wednesday, September 25.
Come join us! Wear
your “BEST GREEN Grubbies”, bring your gloves, tools for digging, weeding,
clipping, weed-wacking and whatever other cool tools you have to spruce up our
living lab.
We invite you to
volunteer anytime during the day or from 1:05 to 1:45 when our class will be out in the Naturescape and Garden.
This is another
opportunity to personally meet our new principal, Mrs. Kalugin that will be outside – hands on pitching in and
cheering us on. We also thank our very own, Sally White, retired SK Teacher & “All Things Green Expert” guiding our energy throughout the day.
If you are
unable to join us, please make sure to send your child dressed for outdoor
activity and possibly with a change of clothes/shoes, reusable water container (Keep
“Oregon Weather” in mind.)
Then the following night, Thursday, September 26 is Parent night here at Forest Ridge. This is your opportunity to come to your child's classroom and find out what we've been up to and what you can expect for your child during third grade in B-4. There are 2 sessions so if you have siblings in another classroom, you can go to both classes. The first session is from 5:30 to 6:15 and the second session if from 6:15 to 7:00. Come say hello and find out what all the buzz is about the new Common Core Standards and how to keep updated on what's happening in our classroom.
The Jog-a-thon is on Friday, October 4. Pledge packets went home last Friday. If all the kids from our class bring back their packets with at least one pledge, we will have a special classroom lunch party. So please help your child find at least one contribution for the Jog-a-Thon. The money from the Jog-a-Thon helps fund our field trips, assemblies, new technology in the classroom and more.
I'm really enjoying getting to know your children. They are a very sweet group with a lot of enthusiasm for learning!
