See you on Monday!!

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!!  🙂

SEE YOU SOON!!

Students and Parents,

I look forward to meeting you at our school open house on Wednesday, August 21. You may meet me and check out our classroom any time between 6:30 and 7:30pm. Students may bring in their school supplies to put in their desk. I’m excited to see you!
Be sure to read a little bit about me on the About Ms Van Arkel page.

If you are interested in donating items to our class, at the open house I will have a wish list of supplies that will be helpful in our classroom this year. If you’d like to donate a book to our class, please see my Amazon wishlist HERE. Thank you in advance for any and all donations to our classroom! We appreciate it so much!

See you soon!!

Hi Families, 

It was so great to meet you on Wednesday! I’m getting excited for our third grade year together! See you on Tuesday. 

A few things to remember:

Third graders: You picked up your first homework assignment at open house. If you forgot, here is the information: Find one thing at home that represents something you did this summer that you would like to share with the class. It may be an object or picture, but make sure it fits inside a sandwich bag. Bring it on Tuesday!

***Our district bus policy has changed. Please be aware of this. I have added a page at the top of the blog titled BUS PASS. Please click on that page and read about the changes. Thank you!

Enjoy your weekend!
