Special Days in Third Grade

We have a few special days in third grade for which we will either need parent/volunteer help or participation.  These fun events are now on our calendars, so we thought we'd give you a heads up so that you can add them to yours. :)

Watermelon Day - Friday, 9/21 - We'll need a few volunteers from each class to help us with this fun activity that will take place at school from 12:15 - 2:45.

Laura Ingalls Wilder Day - Friday, 12/7 - Laura Day is a favorite third grade tradition to culminate our study of pioneers in social studies and our Little House on the Prairie novel unit in reading.  Mrs. Casper, our resident Laura expert comes to help us with this all day event that takes place at KE.  We'll need several volunteers from each class to help with cooking, weaving, and other craft stations that small groups of students will participate in throughout the day.

Donuts for Dads - Friday, March 8 - Students invite their dads (or grandpa/uncle) to spend the afternoon in third grade (12:15 - 2:45).  Dads get to participate in our Friday stations with the children, and (of course!) eat donuts!

Mother's Day Tea - Friday, May 10 - Moms (or grandma/aunt) get their turn to come to school for Mother's Day Tea, also from 12:15 - 2:45.


More information and volunteer forms will be sent home prior to each event, but we thought it may be helpful for you to know the dates in advance in case you need to rearrange your schedule to help or participate.  We may also add other events - so stay tuned. :)
