Here comes the sun…? I hope so. Although the rain was a much needed blessing, rain can also be difficult to navigate on a school day. Thankfully, the third graders handled the rain all in stride last week. Hopefully, this week the sun will peek out so the Junior Yard, aka "Whoville", can celebrate the birthday of Dr. Suess in a most Suessical way.
Tomorrow morning the entire Junior Yard will work together and rotate throughout the different classrooms to focus on six different Dr. Suess books. The third grade classroom will focus on Bartholomew and the Ooblek. Don't know what "oobleck" is? Well, you will just have to wait until tomorrow and learn all about it from your third grader. Tomorrow is sure to be a great day. I can hardly wait!
In addition to our Dr. Suess day, the third and second grade classes will be hosting the all school mass this Friday. Please be sure to come celebrate this special mass with us!
