What is a good time for a 3rd grader to go to bed?
Typically, 8:30 is best.

How does AR work in your classroom?
I will begin AR in my classroom in the Fall. This will give me time to
observe the students in class to find the appropriate AR level.
When they begin, the students will be required to complete 3 AR tests every
nine weeks on their assigned level. They may certainly do more, however the
enjoyment of reading is the main focus in my classroom. Once they recieve 2-
3 100% in a row, they may move up. Usually, they move up 1-2 levels or more
depending on what I observe of their reading and comprehension in class.
--------------------------------------
How do I keep up with my child's behavior in class?
Behavior sheets will be sent home every Thursday and will need to be
signed and returned on Friday. This is part of your child's responsibility to have completed and
returned to school the next day. Your child may need to pull a pin if it is not returned/signed.
--------------------------------------
What should I do if my child forgets to bring in homework?
Please leave it at home. Unless not turning in homework becomes an issue,
forgetting it once or twice will not be a problem. The consequences are
minor and will help your child in developing his/her personal responsibility.
--------------------------------------
How do I know if my child is reading a book that is too hard?
Use the 5-Finger Method- Have your child read the first page of the book.
If he/she misses five words or more, then the book is probably too hard and
he/she might spend too much time trying to figure out the words and will
have a difficult time with comprehension.
