Third Grade Families,
It was great meeting you and your third grader last night! We are going to have a wonderful group this year and I look forward to learning together!
FOR YOUR INFORMATION
I want to share a couple more things for you to know about third grade and our classroom:
Forms to turn in: At open house, you picked up an envelope from the office as well as your child’s folder. There were forms in the envelope from the office and there were a few surveys from me in your child’s daily folder. All of these forms should be brought back to school sometime next week. Thank you!
Snack: Please help your child to pack a healthy snack to eat during our morning snack time each day. On occasion, some students forget their snack and I try to keep a snack here for those times. Thank you for your snack donations!
Background Check: In order to volunteer at our school (field trip, class events, help in the class, etc.), you will need to fill out a background check form. You can fill out the form HERE.
Birthdays: We like to celebrate birthdays/half birthdays in our class. We celebrate by singing to our classmate (if they choose) and I give them a special gift. Though not required, some students may wish to bring something for the class. As a school and classroom policy, please do not send in food. Your child may bring in a small gift such as pencils, bookmarks, stickers, erasers, bracelets, etc. Something simple or useful usually works best. Another option is to donate a book or game in your child’s honor that the whole class can enjoy. Thank you for your help with this!
Specials: Here is our specials schedule-
Day 1- PE
Day2-Art
Day3-Steam
Day4-Music
We will have PE on the first day of school. Please make sure your child brings gym shoes to school.
We will start library in a few weeks. Our library day will be on Tuesday.
I am excited to see our great group of third graders on Monday!! 🙂
