Dear Parents,

Our week was full of fun activities. The kids all had a great time participating in Spirit Week! Today, we had a visit from some of the members of the CU Buffs football team. They talked to our class about how important it is to work hard in school, sports, and in life and to always do our best. Before they left, the kids were able to get their autographs. (Hopefully, you can see the pasted pictures below.)

On Tuesday, we had a guest speaker, Ms. Pam, from the North Metro Fire Department. She talked to the third graders about fire safety and the importance of making a family plan for how to get out of the house safely if there is a fire.

We also worked very hard this week to complete many of our learning units before Spring Break. All students completed the Fractions Unit math test. We will do test corrections when we return from the break on Monday. Most of the class is also finished with a draft of their slide shows for their research. After the break, students will continue to edit and revise their work, and they will be on display for the Learning Fair (now known as the Inspiration Exhibition) on April 20. Finally, we finished our Social Studies unit on Regions of the United States. When we return we will begin our final Science unit on Earth Material (Rocks and Minerals).

I hope you all have a safe and relaxing Spring Break. We will return to school on Monday, April 3rd.  State testing starts on the 4th!

Sincerely,

Aisha Galt
