Good Afternoon Central Families,
Important Reminder: Students will not report to school tomorrow, April 12. Please look for further communication from the school district on Monday.
Third grade students have been learning about Earth's water, including the impacts of littering and pollution. They spent time cleaning up around the building and playground, created models to understand water supply, learned about the water cycle by pretending to be a water droplet, and tracked water paths by making a water cycle bracelet. Students also discovered that even though we live on a watery planet, freshwater is limited. They'll soon create a public service announcement about conserving and protecting this precious natural resource!

Students will be bringing home a BINGO card for March Reading Month. You can also locate within the News section. Our theme for the month is purpose. Motivation increases when students have opportunities to read and write beyond simply being assigned to do so. Teachers will also be playing BINGO this month with classroom activities related to purpose. Enjoy!
Reminder: Today is a half day. Students dismiss at 12:00.
As Mr. Edwards shared a short while ago, tomorrow will be a remote learning day. Students were sent home with what they'll need to engage in learning opportunities, and teachers will be communicating the learning plan for tomorrow soon.

We are extremely excited for many of our friends to return to in-person learning tomorrow, and for our RV friends to join an R-P teacher!
Tomorrow will be a memorable day!
Outdoor play and another GREAT day!
