Dear Parents,

It’s that time again!!! International Night is back on the calendar.  The Third grade is responsible for the country of BRAZIL.  International Night will be held on Tuesday, February 10th in the school Cafeteria at 6 pm.  I would like you to work with your child in gathering information about BRAZIL.  When you have collected the information you need, you and your  child will put it together and return it to school.  Here are several guidelines and suggestions. 

·      Items should be posted on the paper provided.

·      There needs to be nine to ten sentences about the topic.  If your child chooses to do more that is acceptable.  I would encourage your child to put the sentences into their own words. They need to write in their best handwriting. (This is not to be written in cursive).

·      Your child may choose to illustrate a part of their topic.  Pictures from the Internet are acceptable and encouraged. 

If you have anything at home you may bring it in on the day of International Night.  Your child will be receiving a Social Studies/Effort grade on this project.  I would like this project turned in by Friday, February 6th.

If you would like to help we will need volunteers to help with cooking the food and help on the afternoon of the 10^th to set up. Pleased let me know if you would like to help. 

 Thank you for your help and cooperation.

Mrs. Bliss

Your child is responsible for the information about ___________________________________________in BRAZIL.

PLEASE REMEMBER IT IS COLD AND FLU SEASON. DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD TO SCHOOL SICK. THIS INCLUDES VOMITING THE DURING THE NIGHT OR THE NIGHT BEFORE. IF YOUR CHILD HAS A FEVER THEY SHOULD NOT BE SENT TO SCHOOL FOR 24 HOURS. THE OFFICE STAFF WILL CALL IF YOUR CHILD IS SICK. PLEASE BE AVAILABLE TO HAVE SOMEONE PICK THEM UP OTHERWISE THEY ARE SENT BACK TO CLASS WHERE THEY WILL INFECT EVERYONE AROUND THEM. THIS IS COMMON COURTESY AND I ALSO APPRECIATE IT SO MYSELF AND MY OWN CHILDREN DO NOT COME DOWN WITH ANYTHING. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR COOPERATION.
