Field Trip!!!

Third Grade is thrilled to announce that we’ll be visiting Schnepf Farms for a vegetable picking field trip!  On Tues. Nov 15^th we will tour Schnepf Farms to learn about planting and picking nutritious vegetables.  The cost is $10.00 per student.  This includes admission and bus transportation.  We will be asking that all children bring a sack lunch, as we will be having lunch on the lawn at the farm before returning to school. 

The bus is scheduled to leave Ranch Elementary at 9:00am and is scheduled to depart Schnepf at 12:30pm. Please be sure your child comes prepared for an outdoor adventure that involves proper attire, such as comfortable clothing, tennis shoes, hats, water bottles, and sunscreen. (Be sure to label all personal items with a first and last name.)

 

Please fill out the permission form and return with your money by Monday Nov. 7^th.

Parent Teacher Conferences

Don't forget that Parent/Teacher Conferences are this week Oct. 20-21. If you haven't confirmed your appointment time, please do so as soon as possible. I'll try my best to schedule at your convenience.

Fall Break

Have a wonderful Fall Break! See you back on Tuesday Oct. 18th.

October Newsletter

Third grade is working harder than ever to achieve our academic goals and benchmarks. DIBELS Next Reports went home last month.  We hope you had a chance to review these reports, as DIBELS is an excellent indicator of reading skill.  Our next DIBELS goal is 92 words per minute with 96% or above accuracy.  Please be sure to have your child read out loud for at least twenty minutes each night in order to meet or exceed this grade level benchmark. 

We are still accepting classroom supplies.  We’re collecting pencils, copy paper, construction paper, healthy snacks, hand sanitizer, tissue, and anything else that may be useful in a classroom.

Don’t forget to turn in your Parent Volunteer Packets if you will be donating your time to Ranch Elementary.  Ms. Debbie will get you a nametag and a government issued Fingerprint Clearance Card.  Child safety is our top priority!

Happy Fall!
