Curriculum November 7-11

Thank you to everyone that sent in candy for the troops.  It is greatly appreciated.  It is not too late.  The kids will be writing letters this week to include with the candy and beanie babies. 

 

On Monday, please look for a new program that third grade is sponsoring called Cool the Earth.  It is a program where the kids will take an initiative towards helping the earth.  The students will come home with a coupon book.  They only need to complete a task one time to bring the coupon in.  The pledge is for them to try to continue it, but not anything they will need to keep track of.
