Dear Third Grade Parents,
It's finally here, the week the third grade class is going to the Old Globe Theater to watch Dr. Suess' How the Grinch Stole Christmas. I can hardly wait to see everyone's reaction to this fun production. I know they are going to love it!
Just some last minute reminders for this fun day, third graders must come to school on Wednesday in their mass uniform. This is a fancy event and we want to represent SMA in style. Lastly, please pack a "brown bag" lunch for your third grader. We will be eating lunch at Balboa Park before making our way back to school. Thank you for helping to make this fun field trip possible. Be prepared to hear some fun highlights after school on Wednesday.
Be sure to look over this week's Curriculum Update to know all we are learning in third grade!
