Hey families!
The "Under the Sea" Book Fair starts this week. There are several opportunities for you and your children to purchase books. Tomorrow is Family Night from 5:30 - 8:00. Refreshments will be provided. Your child must be accompanied by an adult. Students can also purchase books at school starting on Wednesday. There will be opportunities to go to the fair between the hours of 9:00 - 3:00 IF they have money to purchase books. Parents may also come during those hours, just be sure to sign in at the office first. You and your child may also go after Hot Dog Day on Friday, but again, students may only go to the fair if they have money to purchase merchandise and are accompanied by an adult. Hope you are able to find some great things to read at the fair! Have a wonderful week!

Saint Report Info.
Hello Families!
We had a great start this week in 3rd grade on our Saint Reports. We've ended the week with all students being able to find resources on their Saint through online resources or books. Now that we are about done with our first "brainstorming" sheet, I have given your children the second research sheet that helps them put their report in order. They should be able to use the information written on their first sheet to help them with their second. We will work in class to find any missing information and correct and errors in spelling and sentence structure. I have also sent home a paper that highlights the required information for the report, as well as a rubric that I use for grading. Our goal for this coming week is to finish and finalize the second sheet to prepare for writing the full report. We hope to complete the full report by the 3rd week of October so that we may utilize the week before All Saint's Day to practice. By now, I hope you and your children are beginning to think about how you might want to do your costume. Remember: Costumes do not have to be expensive or elaborate, just an appropriate depiction of the Saint's typical outfit. If you refer to the resource section, I will include some good websites for research and also some useful sites that show how some Saint costumes have been made. I will also include a few pictures of our students' costumes from years past. Thank you for all of your help with this project! We're having a lot of fun learning more about the Super Heroes of our faith! Good Luck!

Wonderful Day! Pizza Day and Pet Blessing Tomorrow
What a beautiful and blessed day we had in 3rd grade today. We started our day by praying the rosary in the beautiful prayer garden and ended with each student getting their assigned Saint for our upcoming project! It was so amazing to see their reverence and participation praying the rosary and their excitement receiving their Saint.
Tomorrow is Pizza Day! Lunch is at our regular scheduled time and students are in their school uniforms. We will have mass tomorrow so please make sure your children wear their mass uniforms. We also have a Pet Blessing in celebration of the Feast of St. Francis. Please feel free to join us and bring your family pet for the prayer service at 2:45. Leashed or caged pets are welcome to attend. If you are unable to bring your family pet, just send a photograph or drawn picture! After the service, we will head to dismissal. If you would like to take your child with you after the blessing, you are more than welcome to. Please just make sure to find me at our line up spot (the students will know where it is) so I can check your child out.
I look forward to seeing you all tomorrow! Thank you again for all of your help with your child's Saint selection!

Picture Day, Saint Project Information, and Early Release Wednesday
Hey Wonderful 3A Families!
First, thank you for such an amazing fair weekend! I saw so many families helping out and/or supporting the fair, and I even saw some students volunteering. It's always a great sight to see the St. Ann's Community come together.
I just wanted to make you aware of a few things going on this week:

I just wanted to make you aware of a few things going on this week:
- Picture Day is tomorrow (9/30). All students are in regular uniform on this day (no mass uniforms). Free dress coupons are not able to be used tomorrow since we would like to photograph the whole class in our St. Ann's uniforms.
- In tomorrow's Tuesday Folder, you will receive a letter explaining our upcoming "All Saints' Day Project." Please read this letter with your child. It will explain how we conduct our project and will highlight any responsibilities that will need to be completed outside of school for the assignment. It will also tell you the date of the date of the event. The letter also states what you and your child will need to do with the Saints list attached to the letter. Please return the list only no later than Thursday so that we may assign your child their Saint by Friday. If your child does not have a preference which Saint they research, they do not need to return the list.
- We will have an early release on Wednesday at 12:30 p.m. for a teacher inservice regarding accreditation. There will be no after school care on this date.
