Spelling
At the request of the students, we will have a fun spelling test next Thursday. The names of the students in our class.
We will all take it, but it won't count toward their grade.

We are done with spelling for the year!
YEAH!

Persuasive writing!
We will type some of the papers we wrote.


Independent Reading Program
May reading folder will be due Tuesday, May 26th!
The last reading party will be on Thursday, May 28th!
This will be a special end of year party. The students will have the option of bringing their own lunch, buying a hot lunch or purchasing a McDonald's Happy Meal and shake for $5.00.
If they will purchase a happy meal and drink, please send in the money the day the folders are turned in.
This should be a nice way to end our third grade reading year!
***I need a parent volunteer to pick up the food at the McDonald's on Plainfield and 75th, that Thursday at 11:10AM and have it here by 11:35AM.
Let me know if you would be willing to do this.
Thanks!
