Hello! For those of you I haven't had the pleasure of meeting yet, I am Ms Annie Allen, and I am thrilled that your children are in my class this year. I graduated from Emporia State University and have been teaching 3rd grade for five years - teaching is my passion! I plan to write a newsletter every couple of weeks in order to let you know what we have been working on, what we will be working on, and any news or upcoming events.

This past week your children have continued to learn cursive, we just finished learning the letter "J." I'm very impressed with the quickness this class is picking up cursive. We have also been learning how prefixes work - primarily the 5 main prefixes in chart below!

Next week we will start discussing the 13 colonies in Social Studies. I've got some fun activities that I'm sure your child will enjoy!

If your child hasn't already mentioned it, the 3rd grade class is taking a field trip to the Aquarium to learn all about the aquatic life! This will be on Friday, October 17th. Please be sure to fill out the attached permission slip. Parent chaperones are needed if you are available. All the information for that trip that you will need is on the permission slip. If you have any further questions, do not hesitate to contact me!

Leading up to the Aquarium field day, your children will be learning about habitats and ecosystems. By Christmas break, they will have created their own mini-habitat. More details to come!
