May

Dear 3rd Grade families,

It’s the season of field trips and Thursday May 4th will be our field trip to the Schnitzer Music Hall for the Orchestra. There will be 24 other schools with their 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade classes. Our Grout students will be performing with an audience and we will get the opportunity to experience the Orchestra perform.

Speaking of seasons… we will be graced with warmer weather and please provide your child with a water bottle. These bottles will be kept at their table and can be refilled from the water dispenser when needed.

Always,
Mr. Guron

On another note...

Dear Families, May 2, 2017
We are in the midst of a wonderful unit on the history of Portland.  

We have been tasked with creating a museum showing important people, places and events in Portland’s history and we’ll even have a gift shop! This will raise funds for 3rd grade activities.  The student curators are working hard on researching information on their individual or team topics, and they are looking ahead to creating their exhibits in the museum.

With that said, if you have any supplies that might be useful for making dioramas, models or small statues- we could use the donations!

I don’t want all your recycling to end up in my room, but in talking to your student you might discover something useful to send from home.

Our museum will open on May 19th.  We are planning on having it open during the afternoon/evening of the PTA’s ice cream social (expect more information on that in the coming days).  Please mark this on you calendar! It is a time to come join the community, participate in STEAM activities (science technology engineering art math) and come tour the museum.  

Please come if you can and explore your student’s work.

Sincerely,

Ms. Van Clock, Mr. Guron, Mrs. Neal
