Summer Time

2008-2009 class, I hope you are having a great summer. It was such a wonderful school year and I enjoyed having you all in class this past year. I am going to miss you all next year. It is summer time now and I hope you are all being safe and having fun. Because I am a teacher I can't help but remind you to keep reading. Read anything! You can even read your cereal box or the TV guide or your magazine on how to pass you favorite video game. JUST READ!! Also, don't forget to keep up on those multiplication facts. I just bought some flash cards for my summer school students at Walmart for $.98! Less than a $1!!! Ok, I am done lecturing you. :) See you around school next year.

What am I up to this summer???
I am teaching 3rd grade for the month of June at Harelson. I am looking forward to having all of July off. I am going to a week long technology camp to learn even more cool things to do with kids and computers. I am also taking a week long trip to Pensacola, FL to go deep sea fishing and camping. I have never been before so I am a little scared but very excited.

Next Year's Students:
If you are wondering if you are in my class next year look for class lists on the front window of the school on July 31st. I am hoping to mail all my new students a letter around the 28th of July.

If you are thinking of going school supply shopping here is the supply list for all of the 3rd grade classes at Painted Sky. Remember that if you have supplies from last year and they still work, you can use them and you don't have to spend the money on new ones. This works great for things like scissors and backpacks.

(No trapper keepers please.)
1 backpack- no wheels
Pencil Box (5x8x2, no larger please)
1 pair of scissors (labeled with child’s name)
1 box of crayons (48 or smaller)
2 spiral notebooks (wide ruled, single subject)
*1,000 sheets of wide ruled paper
*10 glue sticks
*24 #2 pencils (wooden and sharpened)
*2 EXPO dry erase markers (thick)
*2 boxes of tissue
**1 box of thin markers for Art (washable)

Have a wonderful summer! Explore around my class website and check out the class links page for fun websites to visit over the summer. See you all soon!
