small medium large Our first day of school went very well. We are quickly learning what it takes to be third graders. We will be spending much of the first weeks getting to know one another and learning routines both in and out of the classroom. Our regular schedule begins today, Sept. 3rd, with all encore classes up and running. The entire third grade will do reading and math assessments and will split into groups soon. Each morning we begin our day with a morning meeting which allows for greeting, sharing, news and announcements. We are thrilled and honored to be teaching this wonderful group of students. We're off to a great start! Homework will begin the week of September 8th. Your can expect your child to receive 2-3 subjects per night totaling approximately 30-40 minutes. Please be sure to check your student’s assignment book and sign the bottom of the page acknowledging homework completion. Students should work independently and parents do not need to check homework for accuracy. If you have a question or comment regarding homework, we ask you to write a note in the homework planner. We also ask that your child read 20 minutes per night in a book of their choice. They can read independently, listen to a book on tape, or buddy read with a parent. We will soon begin to learn cursive. Alpha Smarts are also available and used in our classroom for written work product, so we'll be working on both important skills. We have one snack break each morning at 9:45. Please send a nutritious snack to school with your child. Lunch is served daily at 11:45. We also ask that you send in a note if your child has any changes in their afternoon dismissal plans such as leaving school early or going home with a friend. The yellow Thursday folder comes home each week with your student's weekly work and important papers. Please be sure to empty it and send it back on Friday. We look forward to meeting all of you on Back-to-School Night, September 23rd at 6:30. Please feel free to contact us via phone or e mail with any questions or concerns. It's going to be a GREAT year !
