Week of May 5th

I'm starting our countdown to the end of 3rd grade.  Summer is always exciting and much needed, but I will be a little down in the dumps when your kiddos aren't in my class in 13.5 days.

Zoo pictures
Thank you so much for everyone's help with the trip to the zoo and providing cameras.  I know some kids took a ton of pictures and some kids only took a few.  No matter how many they took, it was great to see them thinking about what we have learned.   If you could help them email their pictures to their school accounts that would be a big help.  We will be sorting and adding to them in class on Wednesday.  

Forest Park Field Trip
Monday 5/19 - I have quite a few parents, but can always use extra hands.  I will be sending out a list of things that I need help collecting next week.   These are pretty simple items, but we will need them to do our amazing race.  I will keep you posted.

Guest Teacher
I'm sure most of you have heard about our guest this week.  In case you didn't, my sister will be here all week helping me.  She will also be teaching the literacy block this week as an end to her education classes.  This is her final project before she goes to student teach in the fall.  Her name is Kierstyn, but since she will be teaching the kids, I will be having them call her "Miss B".   She didn't like the idea of having two Miss Besel's (it's just too confusing for all of us).

Book Clubs
Next week we will be doing another 2 week book club to end the year.  It will be a lot less homework, but a lot more independent reading in class.  This also means that we will have no more spelling tests, but just work on things in class.  I will be giving a partial spelling grade based on how well they apply their skills to the rest of their daily work.

Field Day
There is a note coming home today about field day.  Please watch for a blue sheet in your child's papers.

Have a great week!
Miss Besel
