Last 3 days of 3rd Grade!!

Team Urban,

We are down to the final 3 days of 3rd grade! As always, it is extremely rewarding to watch each child achieve a successful year with growth in their academics as well as social/emotional growth. As this year comes to a close, I would like to thank each and every one of you for your support throughout the year. I am honored to have been your child's teacher, and I couldn't have done it all without your support and engagement in your child's education.  

The last 3 days of school are busy, so here is a rundown of the activities each day:

Monday, June 3rd:

  • Movie day- The One and Only Ivan
  • Visit to 4th-grade classrooms
  • AR Waterslide Day
  • Here’s what students need to wear and bring:

    • Swim shirt and board shorts or athletic shorts (no bathing suits allowed)

    • Water shoes or Crocs in sport mode are highly recommended

    • A water bottle and extra snacks

    • Sunscreen and hats are also recommended

    • Towel

    • Change of clothes is optional


    Schedule for the waterslide fun:

May 26th-30th

Team Urban,

The days seem long but our days together are getting shorter.  Here are some pictures of a fun painting project this week and PE Silver Physical Fitness Awards and Running Club for 3rd Trimester.













Instead of our annual AR walking field trip to White Rabbit, we’re excited to celebrate our students' AR progress with a fun waterslide party on Monday, June 2nd! Students who have met their AR goals for all three trimesters will receive VIP access to the waterslide. Shortly after, all students will join in the waterslide party fun! 

To help make this event a success, we kindly ask for a $5 cash donation (Dollar-A-Day) from each student by next Wednesday, May 28th. Students can give their donations to their teachers. Please keep this a secret, as it will be part of our special 10 day countdown for all 3rd graders. Thank you for your support in making this celebration special for our students!
