Picture Retakes
Picture re-takes are being planned for Thursday,
November 15, 2012, beginning at 9:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. If you need to have your
child’s photo re-taken, please do the following:
1)
Call the office to get your child’s name on the re-take
list.
2)
Return the complete original packet of photos on
November 15.
If your child did not have
money with them on the original picture day to purchase photos, forgot to turn
in their payment envelope, was absent, or is new to May Watts School, they
should also be placed on the re-take list. All students have their photos taken
in order to have them appear in our May Watts yearbook and for their academic
file regardless of whether you purchase photos or not.
If you have any questions,
please contact the office at 428-6700.
Monument Project:
The third graders have been assigned a national monument or symbol to research with a partner. It would be a great help if they could get some information from home. We have some computer lab time, but they may need to do some of it at home. Ask your student what monument or symbol he or she have been assigned and help them gather information.They are to become an authority on their monument so they can present it to the class. Below are the questions they need to be able to answer.
1. How was it constructed?
2. Why was it constructed(or why was it chosen)?
3. Why did we construct something to honor this person or symbol? Why is it important to our country?
4. What are some interesting facts?
This is their first research project, and they need help going through the information to decide what is important and what's not. There are a number of websites on the third grade blog.
