Wow, our time is almost over!

There will be no homework again this week. We have covered all of our standards. Thus, we have some time to celebrate our accomplishments.

This week students will be allowed to participate in the 3rd grade talent show. This will give the students who are performing in the Gilbert Talent show on May 12 some time to practice performing in front on an audience. It will also give those who didn't make the cut a chance to perform their talent. It's a very low key event that only includes 3rd graders.

I can’t believe the end of the year is here. I just wanted to touch base with you to ensure you were aware of everything we have going on at Gilbert next couple of weeks!

For the Awards Ceremony on Thursday, every student will go across the stage. There will be a special slide show at the end of the presentations. You will be asked to remain seated until the end of the presentations to minimize disruptions. Students will be dismissed to the classrooms before the audience. You may check your child out if you wish. Just pick him/her up in the classroom. 

On Friday, our class will host an end-of-year bash. Please plan to join us for refreshments and a more personalized (class specific) slide show. We should wrap things up by 11:00 at the latest. We would like for each family to bring a package of cookies. We could also use help with canned soft drinks (12 packs). Students should bring cookies and drinks to school on Thursday so that we may purchase any needed items. 

See you all soon!
