The last day of school is near and our scholars are preparing themselves for the Fourth grade. Please remind your scholar to do their homework and to do their best work. Your scholar should also wear the proper uniform each day. In Language Arts, we will continue our novel study and in Social Studies we will continue learning about other cultures. In Math and Science, scholars will continue to plan their businesses.

Third Grade Team

We would like to congratulate the 4th grade students for their stellar behavior on our field trip to Annapolis! Students were engaged, respectful, and represented CMIT in a positive manner! Thanks to all who supported this trip in any way! Special thanks to Ms. Webb for planning an amazing trip! Please be advised that although the end of the school year is close, we are still enforcing our uniform policy! Students should be in the appropriate uniform every day. That includes uniform pants/shorts, shirts, jackets, and uninterrupted black shoes. Please keep in mind that although the weather is warm outside, it is very cool in most of the classrooms. If students would like to wear jackets inside, they must wear their CMIT fleece or windbreaker. Students who are out of uniform next week will be required to call home, and parents will be instructed to bring the appropriate uniform for students to change into. Additionally, Ms. Webb's classes will have one more Science Project to complete at home. Details will be sent home on Monday!
