Mrs. Skeen’s 3rd Grade Class

Listen to the story A Bad Case of Stripes. Tell me how Camilla changed from the beginning of the story to the end of the story!

After reading the book,  discuss with a family member how it makes people feel when others tease them, and how to accept differences in others.

I would love to see you draw a picture of Camilla with all her crazy stripes! Post your response on our classroom Flipgrid!

Dear Parents/Guardians:

In an effort to continue the educational process for our students at White Oak Intermediate, the teachers and I have prepared materials for students to work on at home. Work packets will be available for pick up underneath the covered sidewalk at the main entrance beginning at 7:30 a.m., March 17th. Packets will be organized by grade level and will remain outside all week for your convenience.

Even though packets are prepared, please be aware if you have internet access, teacher blogs have links to many educational sites for students. Teachers have prepared review materials at this time, so no new material is being presented. However, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to your child’s teacher.

We will miss our students terribly over the next few weeks. Our hope is that everyone stays healthy and in a learning routine to make the transition back to school easier when the time comes. At this time the projected return date for staff and students is March 30th. Should anything change, we will post information to our White Oak Intermediate main blog site at http://wois.wonecks.net/.

Sincerely,

Jennifer Rock
Principal

Please mark these dates on your calendar.
