Just a few quick reminders

Another wonderful week is over, and all of us deserve a good weekend rest! Let me remind everyone of a few things:

1. Tuesday we have our walking field trip to LACMA. This will be a lot of fun for the kids even though they will complain about how long it takes to get there! (Ignore them. They need the exercise.) The field trip will focus on "Art that Tells a Tale". If you signed up to accompany the class, please let me know any changes of plan as soon as possible! A BIG thank you to Talia's mom for getting us volunteers, and to Eve's mom for planning the trip.
   
2. Hunter's mom wrote a nice note asking for donations. We need some extra money for recorders and field trip admissions (Friends of Third takes care of the busses only). If you can contribute please do. If you can't, your child will still participate in everything, though the teacher, not the school, will cover any shortfall.
   
3. Also, remember Saturday's Friends of Third get together from 6:30 to 8:30 at 208 South McCadden Place. If you haven't already please RSVP to (323) 871-0413.
4. The Back to School Breakfast is coming up soon. I treat this as an informal opportunity to check on progress with you, and we also use it to sign up parents for the December parent conferences. Please come if you can.

Homework: Do the "Following Directions" paper. Do the "Adverbs" or "Super Adverbs" paper, whichever one was assigned to you. Likewise, do either the "Homonyms" or the "Homonym Fun" worksheet. Keep up the good work in math. Most students are finished Number Sense 1.4 (Rounding) and Number Sense 2.1 (A) (Addition and Addition properties).
