Friday, June 13, 2014

Thank you to everyone who came and supported Tuckahoe Town on Wednesday morning. The children all were so excited to promote and sell their goods and services to everyone. All the groups did a wonderful job of working together, staying on budget, and learning that you do have to keep track of all your expenses.

As you know, next week is the last week of school. We will be wrapping up several small projects and getting the room ready for summer. We will also write and send our final pen pal notes to our friends in France. They are sending us their final notes as well. As I am unsure if their notes will reach up before next Friday, I would like to ask that you send in a self addressed stamped envelope with your child next week. When the pack of notes does reach us, I will forward them on to your child at home. I would also like to ask that you send in an empty knapsack with your child on Monday so we can begin to send supplies home for the summer.

As a part of our End of Year Celebration, I will be hosting a last day lunch (Coffman Café) for my students and family members. Further details are provided in flyer included in today’s Friday Folder. Also, the third grade picnic is Tuesday. Please remember that students should bring their own sandwich although drinks and other snacks will be provided.

Please take a look at the list of calendar events below. I hope you will be able to join us for the class picnic on Tuesday and/or our Friday lunch.

Ms. Coffman’s Room #105

Dear Students and Parents:

Please join me for a final farewell luncheon in our classroom this Friday. I will provide pasta options (at least one egg, nut, and dairy free), green salad, fresh fruit, and cold water. This is my way of saying thank you for the fabulous year and making so many precious memories. Students are welcome to bring their own lunches on Friday OR there will be plenty of pasta and salad for all to enjoy.

Please join us after 11:45 for this event. Bring nothing other than you and simply enjoy this final 2014 Coffman Café!

Fondly,

Ms. Coffman

Success in Savanna, 6/6

Dear Parents:

The hum of production has been heard throughout the third grade hallway this week. The children have been working hard on creating their products for Tuckahoe Town, and figuring out how to stay on budget. We also started a small research project related to the preservation of the Chesapeake Bay (ask your child about the sad report card it received in 2012). Other ongoing or upcoming work includes our summer reading “garden”, EOY math test (recently returned for signature), literature circles, writing/naming decimals, simple machines, and summer safety. Truly, there isn’t a dull moment in third grade as we head to the final weeks.

Thanks to the many parents who have offered to assist me with our yearbook and other end of year items. I will reach out to you individually to set times to meet to finish these valuable projects. Thanks also to all my parents for continuing to encourage those strong work habits such as completing worksheets and writing in journals. Our homework will officially end next Wed. with the collection of the journals. I’m sure that this announcement will be met with great excitement.

Please take a look at the list of calendar events below. I hope you will be able to join us for Tuckahoe Town on Wednesday. Also, I will be hosting a last day luncheon for students and parents on June 20. Further information about that event will be sent home next week.

Thank you,
