Jammin’ in the Jungle

Our Grandparents' Day program will be held on Friday, March 23. The theme this year is Jammin’ in the Jungle.  Students will wear a SOLID green top and jeans for the day of the program.  Any shade of green is fine, but no design/print/ writing/ pictures/etc. If your child does not have a solid green shirt, Walmart and B. Turner have inexpensive options. 

If you would like to send in a small Easter treat for our International Prayer Pals, please do so by Friday, March 16.

MULTIPLICATION CHALLENGE ON TUESDAYS AND THURSDAYS!

The biographies and paper dolls were fantastic! We’ve learned a lot about these famous Americans. Please come by the third grade hall and take a peak. We’ll keep them up so our grandparents can brag!!!

     We are excited to read EXODUS – Moses’ Story from the Bible. We are learning about the promises of God and how He used Moses just as He is using His people today.   

 Our Egypt unit began this week, and oh how the children are going to love it! It really is an interesting study, and we have so much to learn. We are sure you’ll hear more about it as the weeks go by!

i   Our next units in science are simple machines and inventions. This will include our annual Invention Convention. This is such a fun and educational project! More info on this “at school” project after spring break.
