Solar System Project, Souper Bowl, and Multiplication Facts

Well Hello There!
     We are well on our way through 3rd grade and everyone knows in Third Grade we study the SOLAR SYSTEM!!!! WOOHOO!!!
I know some of you are cringing because you know what that means-PROJECT TIME :)  That is absolutely correct, but, we are working on the written part in school and I will be sending the "Art" part home to be completed with your families. 
The "Art" part will consist of;
     -A poster of your planet with facts from your report
     -A model of your planet-styrofoam, paper mache, or whatever you like
     -A brochure made on the computer or by hand-that invites people to come to your planet for vacation. (like a travel brochure)
The Projects are DUE January 25th!!!!

Multiplication Facts- Please practice multiplication facts with your children at HOME. We are practicing in school but I also want the kiddos to practice at home so they don't forget what we learned in class that day.  If you can't get cards let me know and I can print some from a website that I subscribe to. We have weekly Scooters (Quizzes) that go along with our Rhymes and Times Program, and Rippers (tests) when our lesson/chapter is completed. We have completed 1 chapter/lesson so far and your kiddos are doing great.

Souper Bowl- January 30th from 6pm-8pm
          We will be having our annual souper bowl with family games and activities in the school. What a great way to play with your kiddos and have some dinner together with US.   If you can donate crackers, soup, or help out, please let me know.

*FUNDRAISER* We are having a fundraiser soon to raise money for our Spring Trip to the Philadelphia Zoo.  Right now we are looking to sell coupon books with AWESOME coupons in them, I will be buying at least 3, and if you sell a certain amount your family gets a free one.  Places in the book-Dick's Sporting Goods, Dunkin Donuts, McDonalds, Texas Road House-Places all around South Jersey-Not just Millville.
Look for information in your childs backpack or on here.

Our new schedule is as follows-
Monday- A - Gym
Tuesday- B- Gym, Art
Wednesday- C- Spanish, Library
Thursday-D- Spanish
Friday-E- Music, Computers
As always, thanks for your support and participation in our classroom, it makes a difference, and it shows :)
