Getting into the swing of things...
Welcome back to our new school year! I hope you are feeling a little more settled, and you are falling into a routine to start out the year.
The 3rd graders have been very busy already. We're working on comparing and ordering numbers, safety in science, types of communities in social studies and of course we're reading and writing every day.
I am enjoying the chance to get to know each of the individuals in our class. Each one brings something special into the small group and it will be great to watch everyone grow throughout the year.
A FEW NOTES:
Our e-mail server has been changed, so please note my new e-mail address: jenny.steele@stmichaelsgf.com E-mails will be forwarded to this account from the old one for a few months, but please use this one if possible.
3rd grade has their first Mass this week! I don't usually send the reading parts home because we get a lot of practice time in the classroom and at church throughout the week. I will send it home if it has some tricky words. Please join us if you can.

Book orders and pizza party
This is a note that will be sent home today (Thursday May 9th)
I want to get in one
last book order, so you can look for some new summer reading for your children.
In order for them to (hopefully) be here by the end of the school year, I would
like them back TOMORROW. Sorry for the short notice. If for some reason they
are not in before school ends, I will deliver them to you.
A reminder that our
online code is: H2ZWL
Please be sure all
online orders are placed tonight or early tomorrow
morning as well. With the online orders you can also purchase books from other book orders for younger or older siblings.
We will be having our
classroom celebration for Confirmation and Holy Eucharist on Friday May 10th.
I will have pizza for the class along with some apples and caramel. Please send
a drink for your child, but be sure it has some type of cap.
If you have any questions,
please let me know. Thanks!

The cost will be $3.00 and you will need to send a bagged lunch and a drink with a screw on top. We will have a few coolers, but would prefer to have things that do not need to be cooled, or your own insulated lunch box with an ice pack. Please remember that your child needs to wear uniform of black pants and red shirt for the field trip as well. We'll talk about the weather as we get closer, but hopefully it will be a nice, clear day!
Let mw know if you have any other questions about the trip.

Bike Rodeo
The Optimist Club has suggested that we move our Bike Rodeo to a later date due to cold temperatures and the fact that our parking lot still has a lot of snow. The section with snow in our lot is where all of the teachers need to park the day of the rodeo.
We have moved the Bike Rodeo to TUESDAY, MAY 14th at 1:30pm. Please do NOT send the bike this Thursday (25th). Instead send it on the above date. You can still drop it off in the morning and it will be locked up until the rodeo begins at 1:30. I will still ask the students to bring a change of clothing, so they are not in uniform. Please send clothes appropriate for bike riding and weather.
I am still looking for someone or a few people to help out with bikes the morning of the bike rodeo.
I drop off both of my children at different locations (preschool and daycare) on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I usually pull into the school lot right at 8am on those days. I am looking for someone to be at the gym doors for about 15 minutes on Thursday morning.
Mrs. Kochmann will unlock the gym door at 7:45 and all 3rd grade parents can drop off students and bikes at the gym door. I don't want to leave that area unattended during that time, so if you are able to hang around from 7:45-8:05am, please send me an e-mail (jenny.steele@sendit.nodak.edu) to let me know.
It would also be helpful to have another volunteer at the end of the day from about 2:50-3:05 to help get bikes out and back to their owners. If you are able to help out with this part, please let me know as well.

Thank you for your flexibility with this event. Who knew we'd still be worried about snow piles at the end of April! If you have any questions please let me know. Thanks!
