Folder Descrpitions -
Red Folder - This is the Graded Work Folder (GWF) which is normally sent home on Tuesday. Papers should be reviewed and signed or initialed. If the red folder is not returned with papers signed the next day, your child's behavior calendar is signed.

Blue Folder - This is the Daily folder which should go home every day. This folder has a KEEP and RETURN side. Papers in the KEEP side should be kept at home. Papers in the RETURN side need to be returned the next day. This is the folder that contains homework, incomplete work, notices from teachers or administration, behavior calendar, etc.



Please check our webpages for updates and additional information.

Computer: Third graders go to the computer lab to practice skills in reading, math, science, social studies and English. The Internet is used for several projects throughout the year.

Math/Science - Check your child's math teacher's web page for information about math and science.

Mrs. Tammy Phillips and I will be team teaching with an emphasis in Reading and Language Arts this school year. This will mean that your child will have the advantage of having two teachers in the classroom for these subjects. I am excited about Mrs. Phillips being a part of our classroom!
