I am so excited to be starting the New Year with Third Grade!  Mrs. Scott will be out for several more weeks.  We will continue to work very hard to be prepared for 4th grade.

First, I want to thank everyone for our wonderful Christmas Party.  I really love all the gifts I received! You have all been so great!  Also, a special thanks to Lauren Kilcrease for all her help that day.

Now for school information:  We are still collecting canned foods through next Friday and some students still need to turn in the $10.00 for the annual deer hunt.

We are reading Stone Fox  and we will have a Vocabulary Test and Reading Test on Friday.  The Spelling Test will also be Friday.  I sent the list home on Monday.
