Weekly Highlights 4/20/12

And the weeks just keep zipping by. It's hard to fathom that there are only seven weeks of school left and that your child will be a third grader. Moms, please keep May 4th at 12 noon open for our annual Mother's Day Luncheon in room seven. This is an event that you do not want to miss. Also, we are looking for parents to help bring in pot stickers, sushi, and fortune cookies for our flight to the Orient on May 18th. We are enjoying receiving the Flat Stanleys from all over the country. Texas Stanley arrived in the mail the other day with his ten gallon cowboy hat, boots and spurs. In math, we covered a unit on probability and odds. We continue moving up with our multiplication. And in Social Studies, we are learning about just how rough our pioneers had it coming out on the Oregon Trail. They were true heroes.
