We had a fabulous first week in 3rd grade! We spent time getting to know each other and learning our classroom routines. This week we will continue to work on team building activities and begin getting into math, writing and social studies.


NWEA

This week we will be taking our NWEA test for both math and reading. We will be testing in the mornings each day this week. We are giving two days for each test, this way kids will have plenty of time to finish, and not get too overwhelmed. Thank you for having your child here on time in the mornings during this week!


Snacks/Water Bottles

Just a reminder...please send a healthy snack for your child, as well as a water bottle that can be refilled throughout the day. Thank you!

**Mrs. Peek's room has students with severe allergies, so please follow this list when sending in snack items for the classroom: Safe Snack List.


Back to School Night

We are excited to invite you to Lincoln School for our Back to School Night. This is a night
that is just for parents. Our time is 6:45-7:30pm. We will be meeting with all third grade families
in the Media Center to start, then we will bring you up to our classrooms. We hope you can make it!
