Enjoy a great book, The Easter Egg, read aloud by one of my favorite authors, Jan Brett. In the video, she also shares her model bunny and where her inspiration came from when writing this book. Please post pictures of the Easter egg you and your family created in the comment section below. We hope everyone had a great Spring Break and a Happy Easter! #a3eLearning

K4 through 2nd Grade Parents. Just a reminder that tomorrow is a field trip for all K4 through 2nd grade students. Please make sure that students are at school on time, we will be leaving by 8:30. The school will be providing a bag lunch. We are looking forward to this exciting trip.
Anderson Three will be observing an eLearning Day Friday, February 21. Students should refer to your take-home eLearning packet for assignments. As a reminder, students will have five (5) days to complete the assignments. For questions regarding eLearning, visit bit.ly/A3elearn.
Anderson Three is closely monitoring the weather and its impact on our schools tomorrow. Decisions about school closing, if necessary, will be made at the appropriate time to ensure student and staff safety. In preparation for possible inclement weather, your child's teachers have sent home eLearning packets to be used in the case of an actual eLearning day. eLearning preparation does NOT mean that school will be cancelled but allows lessons to be at home “just in case” school is cancelled. Directions for lesson completion and lesson turn-in will be provided by teachers. In the event of an eLearning Day, students who do not return their completed eLearning lessons within five (5) school days will be marked absent. Anderson Three is preparing for the worst but hoping for the best. The A3 eLearning Website has details of the procedures: http://bit.ly/A3elearn
