Dear Third Grade Families,
On
Monday morning we were very excited to attend a special assembly at which
Chamberlin School was awarded a $10,000 technology grant! Our gratitude
to Mrs. Flickinger and Ms. Courcelle, who worked hard on the “Hour of Code” project. This grant money will provide our students with some very
exciting opportunities! Madison did a great job reading at the assembly about
the coding third graders have been working on.
Mr.
Melen has been visiting our class once a week for the last four weeks to teach the "Skills for Growing" program. The children have learned valuable social problem solving skills during these sessions.
Our class will welcome a student intern from UVM, on January 4th, when we return to school. Miss Jessica Ward visited our classroom this fall to meet us. She is excited to work with our class! She will be with us until May 6th.
The Holiday Sing-Along was great fun.
If you were unable to make it, I assure you the children sang beautifully!
Chamberlin’s third grade students will
be going on a field trip to the Flynn Theater on Tuesday, January 19th,
2015. We will be leaving school at 8:30
AM and returning to school at approximately 11:00 AM. Please make sure your child arrives at school
on time. Thank you! We will be seeing Bob
Marley’s 3 Little Birds. This Jamaican adventure story encourages
Ziggy, who is frightened of going outdoors, to summon the courage to step
outside his comfort zone. This musical is based on a children’s book written by
Bob Marley’s daughter, Cedella. We are
sorry, but there are not extra tickets available for family members to attend
this performance.
We will be having a "Pajama and Stuffed Animal Party" on Tuesday, December 22nd. Please remind your child to wear school appropriate pajamas and bring a stuffed animal that will fit inside his/her knapsack to school on Tuesday. Your child may also bring a board game or card game to play with his/her classmates at our party.
We
return to school on Monday, January 4, 2016. I wish you and your family a joyous, restful, and fun winter break!
Happy
Holidays,
Keelin M. Simpson
