Thank you for an amazing week! I enjoyed all my thoughtful cards and notes, the yummy snacks, generous gifts and awesome books for our classroom library. You all sure know how to make a teacher feel very special and appreciated!
Also, thank you to our 3rd Grade PTA parents for hosting Friday Feast. The Tour Around the World buffet was delicious! What a great week to be a Canyon Creek teacher!
I am truly grateful for all that you do for me, our classroom, and the kiddos!
Enjoying your children,
Joni Biggers
3RD GRADE AND CCE CAMPUS NEWS
CAMPING UNIT:
This unit is always a highlight of third grade. To plan their camping trips, the children will need advertising circulars from grocery stores as well as flyers or catalogs from outdoor recreation stores. Each student will pack a "suitcase" with pictures of all the items they will need for a 5-day camping trip. Each group of 4-5 students will plan menus for 5 days. They will need pictures of the grocery items. So, don’t recycle ads from HEB, Target, Academy, REI, Sports Authority, Cabelas, etc. Many of the stores have circulars available as you enter their store. Please grab several copies. Thank you so much for helping us gather materials.
UPCOMING OPPORTUNITY FOR PARENTS
