The Field Trip in the Trolley was wonderful last Friday-Hope you heard all about it!!!

Your child will have a Field Trip form with them today for this Friday-we will be walking with our buddies to the Botany Pond at the University of Chicago.  Your child will need a picnic lunch.  We will walk there around 10:30, returning to Ray about 1:00.  The trip is free and please walk with us if you can.  Please return the filed trip form tomorrow.  Thanks.

The 3rd grade play is next Tuesday June 8, 2010  -at 9:30 and 1:30!!!  Please come and watch!!!  We need your children to wear the following:

girls:  Red tops (even if the shirt has something on it, maybe they can wear it inside out.-if you do not have red, orange), black leggings or black pants (if not black, a dark color) and black shoes if they have them.

boys:  Black pants, black shoes and a white collared shirt.  (dark pants and shoes, if they do not have black)

It should be lots of fun!!!  Your child should know the skit they are doing and should be memorizing the lines at home.  Most kids already have their lines memorizing.  We will have a cast party after the second show, so please bring snacks and/or juice for everyone!!!  Thanks!

Language Arts:  We are reading from our Chicago book and having some time for our AR Books.

Homework:  Your child should write at least 5 sentences each night about a fact or something they know or have learned about Chicago.  The sentences should be numbered and written in complete sentences.  The sentences should be returned to school each day-a total of 20 sentences will be turned in on Friday.  We will read some of the work each day and your child can continue with their sentences each night on the same paper.  I will give paper out for this project.

Math:  We are working in Unit 10 and will move on to Unit 11 as quickly as possible!!

Homework: Lessons 10.9-10.11 (parent letter Unit 10) plus 11.1

Science:  We are observing and caring for our Crayfish.  If you would like one for a pet at home, please bring in a note with a container to carry it home in!!!  Many kids have already taken one home!
