Swimming!

Just a quick reminder:
Swimming starts it's normal schedule this week of MONDAY and WEDNESDAY!

As well, there is a teacher-inservice on Friday, which means NO SCHOOL!

Report cards will go home in a few weeks.

If you missed All School - just a reminder that Ms. Goodwin is looking for strong math fact practice from all Newtonians!

UMASS Basketball Field Trip

Tomorrow is the day!
Students are really excited.
Everyone will get and wear their neon Newton Shirts.

Lunch is provided, but if students want to bring a home lunch, they are more than welcome to.
Please help us out and send home lunch in a disposable bag so we don't have to cart around and try not to forget lunch bags :)

Friday is another swim day for us and DON'T forget - next week we'll start going Mondays and Wednesdays.  Our room is filled with fish and fast changers :)  The YMCA was extremely impressed that the only thing we needed to borrow today was ONE TOWEL! 

Way to go 115!  WAY TO GO!

Our First Day Swimming - TOMORROW!

Reminder that tomorrow will be our first day swimming as a class.
Right now, students are working on earning that privilege.
Today was a real struggle and students have shown disrespect to Ms. Weissman and Mrs. Quinn in Art.  Tomorrow morning they have a real chance to earn back their swimming class.

Pack your swimsuit and towels and I hope tomorrow - we'll head to the YMCA

Scholastic Book Club Orders!



Often times I find families are more interested in ordering online and dealing with the payment information online rather than sending in cash with their student.  Here's the information to order at ANYTIME :)

Class Code - MR7R3

Dear Families,

This month’s Scholastic Reading Club flyers are now available! Please take a few moments to explore the selection together and let your child help choose books he or she is excited to read.

Remember, you help our class earn FREE Books and supplies with every order. Thank you for supporting your child’s reading both at home and in the classroom!

Ms. Witherell

New Friends!


We welcome Bryson F. and her family today.

Bryson joins from North Carolina and is a perfect fit for our class!

Students selected Bryson's arrival as their high for their day in our daily game of High/Low/Pass.

Swimming!


As you know, many of our 3rd grade friends can't wait to go swimming!
Here's the schedule:

Mondays and Wednesday afternoons from 1:15-2:45 pm

January 11, 13, 18, 20, 23, 25, 30
and
February 1, 3, 6

Students should try to bring a towel and swimwear inside a plastic bag (makes it easy to take home wet items).  The YMCA of Greenfield also has swimwear and towels as needed.

(It went home on the top portion of the blue permission slip) :)
