Culmination

Hello All,

I hope you are having a great spring break!  Mine has been wonderful so far.  I have mostly been cleaning my house.  I have recently picked up the book The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Organization.  She assures me that even if I am “Lazy and Slobby” her method will work.  Perfect!

On Tuesday the 31st we will be having our Culmination.  At 1:30 we will all meet in the Cafeteria and share all of our cool foods and drinks.  Then we will split up to play some games, hopefully the weather cooperates.

Many of you have volunteered to help on that day and we will definitely be calling on you to help.  Help in setting up the food, cleaning up the Cafeteria so that Campfire can come in and then help supervising different games.  I don’t have a real schedule for it exactly as this is the first time we have done this but I was thinking I would just grab people as we needed them.  I think it will work out.

I gave your student a page for homework over spring break (don’t panic if you haven’t seen it yet)  It is just one page explaining the culmination and having them think about what they want to share.  I have attached it to this page in case it has been lost, or they were absent on the day it was handed out.  I know that we have a very diverse third grade group and I am excited to see what they all decide to share.  The most important thing to remember is there is no pressure.  If you are super busy this week, feel free to bring something store bought or a game that you already have at your house.  Soccer seemed to be a popular option, so if you have a ball that would be great.

Also our field trip that was cancelled is now up an running at Mercy Corps.  Meredith (Oliver’s mom) sent this link to me today.  If your family is interested you can check it out.  Mercy Corps Exhibit

Have a great rest of your spring break.  See you on Monday!

I tried linking that homework in a way that I never have before.  Let me know if it isn’t working and I will just copy and Paste it into the post.
