Buckle up people! There's a lot going on!

Our next couple weeks are going to be action-packed in Melissa's third grade.  Here is a couple of important highlights:

Class Picture Day:  We will be taking our class picture on Wednesday April 2nd at 9:00.  If you would like to purchase a class picture, the cost is $10.  Please send cash or a check made payable to Lifetouch.  I will fill out a form for you if you have misplaced the one that come home last week.

Also on Wednesday is the Talent Show registration.  This short meeting is mandatory and will take place at 3:45 in room D 204.

Biographies and Realistic Fiction Celebration:  Due to the overwhelming enthusiasm of this amazing group of kids, we will be presenting our biography study and our realistic fiction stories on Friday April  4th at 2:45.  Students are permitted (but not required) to dress up as the famous person that they studied for this presentation.  Each student will have a chance to share a bit about their biography and then you can check out their incredible posters!  Then students will be able to share their realistic fiction pieces with you.  I understand that we have been asking you to come into school a lot lately, so if you can't make it, it's no biggie.  If you can, we'd love to have ya!


Next week:  We are going on an Ag-venture!  The Gunnsion Valley Cattlewomen has prepared a six station educational experience for us down in Gunni!  The stations will include art, music, poetry, farrier and welding demonstrations and leather crafting all to celebrate the theme of "Telling the Story of Agriculture."  We will be taking the bus down to Gunnison on Wednesday April 9th at 8:50 and will be heading back to CB around 12:30.  Students will need to bring a sack lunch.  A permission slip will be coming home at the end of this week.

We are going to continue our learning outside the classroom with a trip to the CB Heritage Museum on Friday April 11th.  We will be walking over to the museum at 1:00 to meet up with Glo and learn all about the history of our sweet little town with a focus on the jobs of the past!  Amazing to think about how there used to be a dairy farm right here in town huh?

That's all for now.  Thank you for reading!
