A note from Mrs. Brammer:

The optional Thanksgiving break IXL leaderboard ends on Monday, so the top three students will get to choose a sticker from the sticker store.  They have until Friday to turn in the optional turkey reading paper and all who complete it will receive something special. 

A Big Change for Third Grade!

Third Grade Families:

I'm creating a separate blog just to let you know that third grade is switching classrooms with second grade.  Mrs. Loving and I had switched over the summer because her class was smaller than mine. Since then, things have changed, and we're going to go ahead and switch back so that she has room for the required reading groups.

When the students return after Thanksgiving break, they will be in the last room at the end of the hall on the playground side.  

This will affect their end-of-day pickup.  You will need to pull up to the main office door from now on.  Drop-off remains the same.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Mrs. Brammer
