Food Drive, Spelling Bee, and Science Fair

Food Drive

3rd grade has collected 29 items for the food drive so far. If you would like to help provide food for the needy (and be rewarded inshallah), please bring in items to school from the list that was given last week. The last day is this Friday, March 31st.

Spelling Bee

We will be practicing for the Spelling Bee every Monday until the final competition on Wednesday, April 19.  We will begin tomorrow, March 27 with the first column (20 words going down beginning with well to do and ending in bogus). Students will have to say the word, spell the word, and say it again. They can ask for the definitions or a sentence for any word. I will pick the 3 best  students from our class to represent 3rd grade on stage. There will be 1 winner from each grade :)

Science Fair

The 3rd annual science fair at Miraj Academy will take place Wednesday, April 26th. I will explain and give out information to students regarding their science fair projects on frogs tomorrow in class (3/27). If there are any questions, please feel free to ask me after tomorrow.
