International Week is Coming Up!!!!!

Dear Parents and Students,

What an extraordinary fun week we had!  We were busy with preparations for International Week.  We made posters, learned speeches and a dance, and did fun art activities.  But most of all it is great to see how much enthusiasm, effort, and creativity the third graders put into the activities.  And it is also great to see how much they are learning and growing!

Next week is International Week!  We will be presenting our presentations on Tuesday and Wednesday, February 26^th and 27^th.  Parents, you are very welcome to come and join us.  We will also be “traveling around the world” on those days and visiting all the other classes and their countries.  I am VERY excited about International Week!  What a great learning opportunity for all of us!  The third graders have been working hard and I can’t wait for them to show the others their presentation. 

Students, please wear only black on Tuesday and Wednesday, February 26^th and 27^th. 

Please have a look at the following schedule.  This shows which class will be visiting which country on Tuesday and Wednesday:

Next week Thursday and Friday, February 28^th and March 1^st, there will be no school for students.  Thursday, February 28^th, is a national holiday, Peace Day.  Friday, March 1^st, is scheduled as a professional development day for the teachers.  Students, that means no school for you!  Greatness, right?!  J

Due to the fact that it is International Week next week, together with a very short week, there are no new spelling words.  We will be focusing on International Week and make good use of this FUN learning opportunity.

Math:  3 pages

Social Studies:  review the song and speech

Our monthly assembly is rescheduled for Friday, March 8^th.  Parents, you are very welcome to attend any of the assemblies.  It is always great to have you with us.  Students, if there are any awards you have received outside of school, please bring them to school.  We would like to hand them to you at the assembly. 

Students, something to look forward to is Spirit Week also the Music Treasure Hunt.  Spirit Week is from March 11^th to March 15^th.  There will be a theme for everyday and we need to dress up according to the theme.  It is a lot of fun!  All the teachers will dress up too!!!  The Music Treasure Hunt for the third graders will take place on Wednesday, March 20^th, from 1.10pm to 2.50pm.  We will be competing against the fourth graders.  Third graders, I know we can do it!  We always do our best!!!

Our Student of the Week is Kitty Tseng.  Kitty is a great helper.  She always helps her friends and teachers with a smile.  She is also approaching every task with great enthusiasm.  Congratulations, Kitty.  You are a star!

Have a lovely weekend, everyone! 

Stay warm and safe!
