Welcome to 3rd Grade!<\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dear Parents,<\/p>\n

Welcome to a new year! Some of you already know me because I was your child’s teacher last year in second grade.\u00a0 If that is you, I look forward to seeing you again and if not, I look forward to creating an exciting new relationship with you and your child.\u00a0 I am really excited about being your child\u2019s teacher this year.\u00a0 This year is going to be a year full of fun, learning, and lots of adventures for all of us! Your child will be given tools and opportunities to really explore knowledge and grow within themselves and within our class community. Much of your child\u2019s success will be determined by the communication between school and home. I would like to welcome not only your child to my class, but you as well. I consider us a team in working towards a quality education for your child. Together we can make a difference.\u00a0\u00a0I look forward to meeting each of you or seeing you again at our open house on September 13th.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Homework\/ Tests<\/b><\/p>\n

Each night check my iblog to find out what your child\u2019s homework will be. \u00a0\u00a0Your child will receive reading homework daily. It is very important for your child to read 20 minutes each night. In addition, they may have to complete any work that was not finished during the day or complete a review assignment for something that we have already done in class. \u00a0It is necessary for your child to complete all homework and have an adult look over the homework. Please do not do your child\u2019s homework for them. Sometimes students will have math homework from the MobyMax site. Grades are given for homework. If your child does not understand the assignment and no one at home can give them assistance, simply write a note on the homework. This will help me to know what your child may still need to work on. In science, social studies, and math, your child will have a study guide to study from before taking tests in these subjects. All tests taken in class will be sent home for you to sign and return to school the next day.<\/p>\n
