Social Studies States Book

It is due this Friday, March 9th. If your child needs to take it home for homework to be sure it gets finished on time, they may do so now.

Heritage Project
This quarter students have been working on a project about their heritage and ancestry. This is also a big Social Studies grade! This is a homework assignment, not an in class assignment. The due date has been changed from what is written on the rubric. It is due Friday, March 16th for in-class presentations.

Heritage Feast
Tuesday, March 20th, is the last day of the 3rd quarter. It is a half day with no after school program. Report cards go home.  On this day we will also have the annual 3rd Grade Heritage Feast. Students are to bring in a favorite dish from their family’s heritage. Parents are welcome to join in on the fun!

Last Day to Turn in Work
