			Class News

Mrs. Kirkwood's third grade kicked off the school year with the theme "Flying High in Third Grade".  The class has studied the Wright Brothers and early flight, and also the recent NASA space shuttle Endeavor mission to the International Space Station. 

Third grade is also studying the metamorphosis of the butterfly by providing a temporary home for sixteen monarch caterpillars!  We released our first monarch butterfly, named Monty, last week.  He is now on his way to his winter home in Mexico.

Our fall field trip will be to see the play, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, on November 26 at Eastman's Toy F. Reid Employee Center in Kingsport.

			Supply List for School Year 2008-09

Please do not substitute or bring additional supplies. Please do not bring the trapper keepers or notebooks as there is not enough desk or storage space for these large notebooks and we do not use them in 3rd grade.

Please remember to restock supplies throughout the school year.

I strongly recommend the use of rolling backpacks because I am concerned about back injuries with the traditional backpack.

Please put your child's name on tool box, crayons, markers, scissors, glue sticks, and especially clothing.
