Student-Led Conferences:
The end of the second trimester and Spring Break are right around the corner. Please mark your calendars as February 28th is the last day to AR and the final day of the 2nd trimester. Since second trimester conferences are optional, for many, our class will be hosting Student-Led conferences Wednesday, March 14th. I will be making Monday and Tuesday, March 12-13 available for one-on- one conferences requested by myself or you. I will contact you shortly if I would like to have a one-to-one conference with you. If you would like to have a one-to-one conference with me, please email me so I can plan accordingly.
Community Service Project:
Also, please remember that ILCS is a leadership school and service is something we value greatly. Your kiddo is required to complete a service project representing their completion of 8 hours of service throughout the year. The project will be due in early May. Additionally, our grade level service project will be completed after Spring Break and all of our contributions will go to help YAPS. These activities always bring a huge smile to everyone involved!
Valentine's Day:
Our class will be having a small Valentine's Day celebration on Wednesday, February 14th from 12-1pm. If you signed up to contribute to the celebration, please send in your donation by Tuesday. Thank you to those families who have already contributed. Please know that your child does not have to distribute Valentine cards, but if they choose to, they must include everyone in the class. A class list is on our Google Classroom for all to view. Thank you for helping our celebration be a success!
Field Trip:
Third grade will be going on a field trip to the California Theater in San Bernardino on Friday, March 16th. We will be seeing Beauty and the Beast. We are excited for this opportunity to see a Performing Arts show! Please donate to Dollar-A-Day as theses funds are what support our field trips. Tickets cost $12.50 per student. Please understand that seat/tickets are assigned since this is a theater performance. This means that we will not need chaperone signups for this field trip.
Thank you parents for filling out the digital permission slip form. Being a new feature in Parent Square, I know it may have been difficult to locate the form. However, I hope you found it to be easier in the long run. I still need 5 parent permission slips signed by Feb. 28. Here is a picture to show how you open the form in the last parent square post.
