Thanks for helping us  celebrate our having learned  basic multiplication facts with a party last week. Congratulation on the accomplishment!

Your child has started learning about simple machines. April 22 is Earth Day. A Whatchamacallit Workshop is planned for that day. Please help your child collect recyclables and bring duct tape.  Your child may get together with friends to construct an interesting item.

 Our Invention Convention is planned for May 1. You are invited to  the small cafeteria between 1:00 and 2:30 to observe all the inventions from the entire third grade. Come see all the creativity!   The children will have presented their projects in class earlier in the day.

You may have noticed the field trips have been changed. May 6 we will see Slim Goodbody and go to the Littleton History Museum.  The cost of that trip is $20.00.  Our next trip is May 21 to the Planetarium at the Denver Museum.  We will eat lunch and then visit the gems and Colorado history exhibits.  The cost of this trip is $24.00. Both of the trips will be bus trips. Volunteers are needed to help  on both of those days.
