Please Note:• Our first field trip will be to the California Science Center on March 4. Information and trip slips went home last week. We have more than enough drivers and will not need everyone who volunteered. I will be in contact with you if you will be driving, therefore, please sign for your child not just the personal vehicle trip slip, but also the bus field trip slip. If you signed up to drive and chaperone, we will still need you to chaperone the trip. Thank you for your understanding and patience as the third grade teachers go through all the field trip paperwork!!!!
• The Smarter Balance test will be given this year on the iPads. A note regarding this test went home last week. In order to prepare students, Room 14 will be taking the practice test in the library this Thursday, February 19 from 9 – 11.
• This Friday, February 20, we will be participating in the indigo napkin project for the silent auction. If you have not donated $5 towards this project, please do so if you are able. Also, if you would like your child to dye a personal item, please send this item to school with a Ziploc bag. Items must be made out of cotton, silk, or linen
