Last week I sent home a paper explaining a service learning opportunity for 3rd grade. If you accidentally overlooked it, here it is again:
As a team, 3rd grade is eager to announce that we are beginning a service learning project. Here’s what we’re doing. We are working with Hendricks County Healthy Families to put together Home Visit Bags for families with newborns. Are you wondering how you can help us? We need some donations of the items that will go into the Home Visit Bags: baby bottles, pacifiers, onesies, baby socks, receiving blankets, any safety items, and baby board books.
As the items are received, our third graders will put together the bags and Healthy Families will pick them up from us.
We are truly excited to take on this project which will help families in our county! We hope you’ll share in our excitement and help with whatever you are comfortable with. Finally, you can check out their website for more information www.hendrickscountyhealthyfamilies.org
We would love to start collecting donations as soon as possible! Thank you for your tremendous support in helping the families of Hendricks County!

LET'S GO TO THE MOVIES
Sing with me now, "Let's go to the movies, lets go se the stars..." Extra credit if you can name the movie this song is from. Just kidding - all this shows is my age!
Anyway, this Friday is a Movie Night at Brown Elementary. For a mere $4 ( or $8 per family) you can watch a movie - High School Musical 3 - enjoy popcorn, drink, and a sweet treat. That's a far better bargain than the going rate at the movie theater!
Best of all, your very own Mrs. Runyon will be there! So join me, my daughter Maddie, and my son Christopher, this Friday ("We're all in this together") by printing off the permission slip located on the Brown Elementary web page or click on the link I included in my blog entry from the other day, and bring that in with your $4.
Doors open at 6:15, movie starts at 6:30, and pick up is promptly at 8:15. I can't wait to see you there!
Finally, a huge thank you to the parents who sent in letters to your children. They loved getting their letters. They were so inspirational and motivating. Watching the kids open their letters and share them with their clasmates brought tears to my eyes. This is going to be a tradition I hope to continue for years and years to come.

ISTEP Week!
The first round of spring ISTEP is upon us. We will begin testing Tuesday morning. Please remember the importance of a great night's sleep and a healthy breakfast in the morning. Also, please remember not to schedule any appointments in the morning the week of testing.
To gear up for testing this week, 3rd grade has decided on some Spirit Days!
Tuesday - We're Off and Running - Wear Exercise Clothes
Wednesday - "Hit It Out of the Park" - Wear Sports Clothing
Thursday - " Bulldogs Test Better than the Rest" - Wear Bulldog Clothing
Friday - " Hats off to a Great Week of Testing" - Wear hats
Also, since snacks will be provided by the PSG, students need not bring any extra snacks.
This Friday will be a Movie Night at Brown Elementary. We will be watching "High School Musical 3" We are having a friendly competition with the fourth grade. We want to have more students attend than them, so print off that permission slip located here http://www.brownsburg.k12.in.us/brown/Forms/MovieNightMarch2009.pdf and bring it in on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday this week. We hope to have a large turnout. All proceeds benefit the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure.
Finally, we have been really busy preparing for ISTEP last week, but I wanted to share with you some of the activities we have been up to the past few weeks. I hope you enjoy :)
Students are watching the Distance Learning on Endangered Animals with the Indianapolis Zoo.
This isn't a great picture, but you can at least see what they are looking at!
We have also been working really hard with our writing! Last week the students got to choose an activity to work on during writing time.
This is just some of the fun we are having in Room 202!
