End of Year Party

As discussed in the newsletter, we will have a party on Thursday, May 29.  It will be our last full day together!  I am leaving it up to you to send in whatever you feel moved to send in.  You can send food, snacks, games, whatever.  I guess you can call it a Potluck Party!  We will use whatever is sent in.  I hope everyone plans on attending so we can enjoy our last few moments together as our 3rd grade family.  Soon enough they will be big, bad 4th graders and too cool to talk to those of us left behind!

Please feel free to leave comments to this post about what you may be thinking about sending in next week. 

Thanks everyone for a great year!

The Rocket Man!

Today we were lucky enough to have a visit from Kent Wallace from Fisk University.  He came by to meet with the 3rd graders and talk about rocketry.  He shared many great facts and showed some videos of his rocket team at Fisk.  The students were a great audience, and many of them may now be inspired to become rocket scientists!  A big thank you to Mr. Wallace!  Huntsville, here we come!!

Our Newest Favorite Thing

When rains come, when the day has gotten long, when we just need something else to do, you might see the old portable shaking just a little bit!  Thanks to our First Grade friends and Mrs. Ward, our class now has a new favorite past time:  Just Dance!  Nothing gets our hearts racing (quite literally) like dancing all out to "Call Me Maybe" or "Superstition."  Just take a peek!
