Week #16 Tidbits

 


We enjoyed a great time learning about Christmas traditions of the early settlers at DeGraaf Nature Center in partnership with the ODC last week. Thank you to Mr. Chavez, Mrs. Vandervinne, and Mrs. Grill for chaperoning! (Scroll down to see pictures.)

Tidbits to Get You Through This Week:

  • In an effort to keep some semblance of routine, we will still have spelling/word work and reading minutes this week!
  • Tuesday, December 16, 12:20-2pm - Gingerbread Houses (Third graders will work with their peers to construct their houses.) Each third grader should bring in TWO tubs of white/vanilla frosting to use in constructing their gingerbread house. You may send them in at anytime!
  • Wednesday, December 17, 2:15-3pm - Our 3rd grade class Christmas party. Mrs. VanderWoude, Mrs. Haan, Mrs. Tetro, and Mrs. Huizenga have volunteered to plan our class Christmas party. We are all so grateful!
