The third grade team welcomes you!
Important Information:
- Third graders are allowed to keep a water bottle on their desk.
- Some of our classrooms are a little cool, so your child may want to keep a sweater or sweatshirt in their locker.
- In order to have ongoing communication between school and home, we ask that you check your child’s assignment book/agenda every night and sign or initial. There is a small space for us to write notes to each other.
- Third grade teachers often communicate via email distribution lists. Please check yours often.
-
On nights that your child does not have assigned homework, we ask that they:
- read for 15 minutes. We encourage some of the reading to be done aloud to an adult. This helps you to monitor their fluency.
- practice math facts for 15 minutes.
