Dear
Parents/Students:
There has been so much energy and
spirit in the classroom this week that it can only mean one thing: spring break is here! We have ended the week on a good note with
the completion of a couple of units in science and social studies. We also took a quarterly assessment in math
and (mostly) finished a writing piece tied to our study of the Mali
civilization. Overall, it was a busy and
productive week. We have all earned some
time off to rest and relax.
In regards to pending work, please
remind your child that his or her draft cards for the Wax Museum project are
due in the classroom on Tuesday, April 2.
I’m hoping that they have already completed at least a portion of
these. Although these are only the
first/rough draft, cards that are well done (neat, detailed, organized) may be
accepted as final cards. This determination
will be made during conferences with the students when they return on Tuesday.
Look for two field trip permission
forms coming home just after break.
Third grade classes will be visiting Arcadia Farm in Alexandria on April
11 and 12. We will also be attending a
show at the Imagination Stage in Bethesda on April 25. Chaperones will be needed for both trips
although there is a limit to the number of adults that can accompany us to the
farm. Further details about this and the
upcoming trips will be sent just after our return.
Thank you to the many parents who
volunteered at this week’s Book Fair, Young Author’s Night, and more. Tuckahoe is really blessed to have a devoted
community of parents. We are never short
handed for helpers and your efforts are greatly appreciated.
I am sending home optional work packs
with all students and encouraging at least partial completion of these. Additionally, all students should be reading
daily and practicing math facts:
multiplication and division. If
possible, have your child do an extra journal letter to get ahead in the
process!
It’s
hard to believe that we are nearing the end of the third quarter. We’ve come so far since September. I applaud all my students and families for
their hard work this year. Have a great
break and I look forward to seeing you all in April.
Sincerely,
Ms.
Coffman
