Miss Palfey's Third Grade class representatives, of the Dallas Elementary
School, wanted to bring a smile to other children's faces this holiday
season. They held a Toy Drive from Dec. 1 until Dec. 15 for Toys for Tots.
On Dec. 15, two men from the U.S. Marine Corps came to their classroom to
collect, then deliver, through a new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to
less fortunate youngsters that will assist them in becoming responsible,
productive, patriotic citizens.

Third grade students have been given a yellow planner (assignment
book) to use each and every day. The children are given time at the end
of each school day in which to write down their assignments which are
posted on our classroom homework board. The planner is your key to knowing
everything that is going on in our room! Some other things included in the
homework planner are book report due dates,upcoming tests, future
activities, book order due dates and much more! I ask parents to sign the
students' planners nightly to ensure the completion of assignments! For the
first 2 months of school I will check each student's planner daily to make
sure it's being used properly and successfully. After each student has
mastered the correct use of the planner, I'll still ask parents to sign it
nightly. Thank you for taking the time to work with your child and me.
