Dear Parents,

A belated Happy New Year! We are now in the second part of the third grade. The work will become more independent and challenging. For this second half of the second semester, 5 points will be deducted for each day an assignment is late. If you are concerned that your child may not be able to meet this requirement, please contact me.

A special thank you to Mrs. Davidson who purchased and organized our gingerbread house decorating party. Thank you also to all the moms who came to assist with our Christmas Party or sent in goodies.

This week we will begin our M&M science project. The M&M’s and instructions will come home tomorrow. Please send in $3.00 to cover the cost of the M&M’s. All other items for the project have to be supplied by the student. Please note the size of the board for this project that is listed in the instructions. The tri-fold boards can be found at Michael’s, Staples, Office Depot, and Walmart to name a few. This project is due on Monday, January 27.

We will be doing ScanTron testing on Wednesday, January 22, 23, and 29. Please do not schedule doctor or dentist appointments during this time.

On Thursday, January 23, there will be a test in Spanish on the parts of the body.

The third-grade class will be assisting with the Mass on Friday, January 24, at 8:45 am. Please plan to join us.

Sunday, January 26, begins Catholic Schools Week. If you have any friends or neighbors interested in giving their child(ren) a quality Catholic Education, please encourage them to come to St. Francis of Assisi School’s Open House to be held from 1 pm to 3 pm.

We are beginning to study New England in Social Studies. We will have a New England breakfast with REAL syrup on Thursday, January 30, at 10:15 A M. No parental assistance is needed.

Sincerely,
Rita Corcoran Davis
