After Spring Break, students will be returning to eating their recess snacks outside during their recess break from 10:20-10:40. Please keep this in mind when packing your child’s snack. Students will also be able to go outside after eating their lunch as of 12:10, instead of the split lunch hours that we’ve been having.
Any questions? Please let me know!

February 22nd marked 100 Days of School for the 2021/22 school year!
We wrote about what we thought we’d be doing “when I’m 100 years old…” and added some pretty great pictures 🙂 Click above to see pictures of us at 100!

Our first Spelling words of the year are our classmates names! It’s always great knowing how to spell our friends names, practice for Valentines etc., and Ms. Watt will be using them in our dictation sentences throughout the year. This paper comes home today and students will be tested on the names next Monday. Please click on the SPELLING tab above to find dozens of fun ways to practice your spelling words this week and all year long!

Hello Grade Threes! Below are the questions you took home last night to answer. Here are the answers from my mom. I can’t wait to hear all of your wonderful name stories today!

My Name: Stephanie Danielle
Who was I named after? Why? You weren’t named after anyone.
Why did you choose my name? I liked the sound of the name and wanted something unique. At the time I didn’t know any family or friends with the name.
What does my name mean? crown or garland (Greek origin)
Was I named before before or after I was born? Before
Were you considering other names for me? Yes! I really liked Charlotte but it wasn’t very popular. I wanted to name you Amy but then your initials would be A&W, like the restaurant. I also liked Vanessa but your initials would be VW, like the car. Jennifer was considered as well but your uncle had just married a girl named Jennifer and I didn’t want two Jennifers in the same family.
I would have liked a more German name (my mom is from Germany) like Angelika, but I didn’t think people would pronounce it correctly, after having my own name, Regina, mispronounced for years.
I think the name Stephanie suits you very well!
