Curriculum Update February 24-28

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! It looks like that nice warm weather we were enjoying has disappeared for awhile.

This week, our 3rd grade international festival will be on Feb. 26th. The taste-fest will be at 1:45 and the program will be at 3:00 and 7:00 pm.

Next week, we will be celebrating Dr. Seuss. Here is the schedule:

Monday, March 3rd: Horton Hears a Who Day - Do nothing just be yourself and proud of who you are, regardless of differences, you can go far!

Tuesday, March 4th: The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins Day- Wear your favorite hat, but only wear one; it will be a whole lot of fun!

Wednesday, March 5th: Fox in Socks Day - Wacky Wednesday in silly socks; the sillier the better, but No Fox!

Thursday, March 6th: Red Fish Blue Fish Day - Wear red or blue. Red or blue is the name of the game and then we'll all look the same!

Friday, March 7th: The Cat in the Hat Day - The Cat and the Hat will be here to play so Cougars wear your red and white on Friday.
