Things to Note...
Can you believe that our final full week of third grade is in the books and this is our last official weekly update?! Next week, there is no school on Monday due to Memorial Day, and Thursday is the last day of school for students. Grades are already submitted, so we will spend our time doing some enrichment learning activities. This is not just random mess-around time...we are still learning, even if we are no longer taking official grades. Please encourage your child to come to school ready to learn, follow PAWS expectations, and participate.
Conference forms went home yesterday. There were two copies sent home. Please sign and return ONE of them. The other is yours to keep!
Field Day was a blast! THANK YOU to everyone who helped out!
Our end of the year class party will be on Thursday from 1:30-2:30. Mrs. Curp sent an email last week with a link to a sign-up for donations. If you did not receive that email, but want to help out, please let me know. All parents are invited to come party with us and celebrate our successful year.
Here is a message from our librarian, Mrs. Kupersztoch:

Tip of the Week: Summer Reading
Mrs. Kupersztoch spoke with our class this week about summer reading opportunities. There are SO many cool programs from many different sources. If you do nothing else this summer, encouraging your child to participate in a summer reading program is something easy, fun, and beneficial that I highly recommend! In addition to library reading programs, the third grade teachers are having a virtual summer book club! We will use this website to post discussion questions on a couple of next year's Bluebonnet Books, and encourage ALL students (and parents!!) to participate by reading the book and posting comments. I hope to "chat" with all of your about these awesome books this summer! :)

Hi Elsa England Parents!
I'm so excited to share this Summer Reading Presentation with you; I taught this information to all students K through 4th grade this week (our 5th graders had a special visit from their new librarian at PRMS or CeVMS). It's FULL of information to help you make a plan for your family to do LOTS of summer reading!
You'll want to pay special attention to the slides covering:
* RRISD Summer Pop-Up Library (See Schedule & Sign Up for Text Notifications)
* FREE BOOKS - Giveaways posted each week on our England Library Website!
Also included is information about Round Rock, Austin, and Cedar Park Public Libraries' Summer Reading Programs and FREE events, as well as reading incentive programs available through local bookstores.
During their lesson this week, students each received a copy of the Beach Blanket Bingo on colored paper and a password page for you to use this summer! Should you lose the bingo sheet, feel free to download a new one from the RRISD website linked above.
I hope everyone has a happy, relaxing, and safe summer, and I look forward to seeing you back in August!
Take care,
Emily Kupersztoch, Librarian
