It is GREAT to be in Third Grade. There are so many fun things to do. There
are also many challenging subjects to study. You will develop lots of
responsibility this year. I am glad to have you in my room.
Here are some things to remember all year:
A newsletter with information for next week comes home each Friday in the
Friday folder. This folder also has your graded work. Show the work to your
parents and wait for them to brag on how much you have learned! Remember to
ask them to sign the folder and return it the next Monday. If you leave it
at home you will lose 5 minutes of recess.
Your Spelling words and vocabulary words are in the booklet that you keep at
home all year. You will receive a Tic Tac Toe board on Monday with Spelling
activities to help you with your words. The Tic Tac Toe board is due each
Friday--don't forget!
We have Math homework most nights but not every night. You can boost your
Math success by working on addition, subtraction and multiplication flash
cards each night. Practice makes perfect so get in there and work!
You will enjoy the special reading projects that are lined up for this year.
Each month we study a different reading genre and make a report. All reports
should be checked at home before they are turned in for a final grade.
Remember that neatness and promptness counts.
Science and Social Studies text books may be new to you. You will learn how
to get information from these text books so take them home and do a little
extra study.
You should be reading at home for 15 minutes each night and having your
reading calendar signed each week. These will be checked on Monday.
There is lots to do but I know that with a good attitude we will have a
wonderful year.
