Greetings from Mrs. Kempf,

Hope you had a wonderful three day weekend! It appears that we have finally chased away

the germs☺

I need to catch up a little with the February Dress down days. Last Friday, Valentine’s Day we

did a dress down for heart health awareness, this Friday, February 21st we will do a $1 dress

down for the Build a Bed Project, and then Friday, February 28th we will do the $1 dress down

for a special intention of Holy Family church, a family in need. As always you may send in

more than $1 or chose not to participate.

The Knights of Columbus yummy Fish Fry’s begin on Friday, February 28th. Dine in or take out

available.

We end the third quarter on Friday, March 6th. We dismiss at 1:00 as the teachers have

Professional Development with Father Andy that afternoon.

Our February raffle ticket winners are:

$25.00 Barb Ross $50.00 Keith Salisbury

$75.00 Richard Kouns $100.00 Kevin Dingess

*Our next drawing will be held on March 11th.

We are hard at work on our 5K run and Luck of the Irish party! Please get your tickets sold and

returned to the school office. More available in the office if you’d like to invite your friends!

This is by far our biggest fund raiser day of the year!! If you are unable to participate in the 5K

stop by that morning and see all the Wonderful Leprechauns, cheer on our racers, and

volunteers are always needed too.

Our Luck of the Irish evening has something for everyone! A Silent Auction with many items

made by our students, yummy hors d’oeuvres, the reverse raffle, socializing, and lastly to close

out the evening music and dancing with our own DJ Mings.

Save the Date: Our Beauty and the Beast production will be on Tuesday, March 31st.

Lastly our SCRIP incentive this month is fast food frenzy! The person who purchases the most

fast food SCRIP will receive a $25 gift card to their favorite restaurant.

3rd Grade News February 18, 2020

What we have planned this week:

Reading – We will be looking at poetry this week. We will be talking about various types of poems as well as writing our own.

Math – Keep practicing multiplication facts. This week we will begin working on graphs in class. We will learn about reading and recognizing patterns in the graphs as well as creating our own.

Social Studies – We are learning about the variety of cultures that makeup America (one group of people). We will also be talking about upcoming holidays).

Science – We will be using our Science Simple Solutions. We will also be talking about solids, liquids, and gases.

Handwriting – Practice. I have begun incorporating cursive into my own writing on the board to help them read cursive. Some of the students have been using cursive for their work. I would like to have all of the students using cursive by the end of the year. They are doing a fantastic job!

*Extra Practice: It is really important that the students are practicing their multiplication if they are struggling in this area. Multiplication needs to be memorized.

Important Information

Friday is a free dress day in order to

raise money for the Build a Bed

Project. Students may bring in $1 to

participate.

February 26th – Ash Wednesday

Remember to get your Raffle Tickets

turned in.
