Welcome to Third Grade!

Hello Families,

I am so excited to meet a great group of third graders! I am glad to have the opportunity to be your child’s teacher! I will be sharing lots of information on our class blog over the next few weeks so please make sure you SUBSCRIBE so you won’t miss a post! You can do this by typing your email in the box on the right side of the blog and clicking subscribe.
As we enter a school year with lots of changes, I want you to know that I am committed to making a safe and comfortable learning environment for each of my third graders. We will work together to take care of each other and build up our growth mindset as we learn new routines.

SCHOOL SUPPLIES:
I have created a School Supply page at the top of the blog. You can find it HERE. We will not be sharing supplies this year so it will be important for your child to have their own individual items labeled with their name. Some of the items you send in will also be used in specials classes.

It will be important to send in one healthy snack each day for our morning snack break.

SURVEY
I look forward to getting to know your third grader this year. If you could, please fill out this survey to share any other information that would be helpful. Thank you!

OUR NEW PRINCIPAL:
If you have not done so already, please read the blog post from Mr. Waldie! We are excited to welcome him to our Georgetown family! Make sure you SUBSCRIBE to the school blog so you won’t miss announcements from the office or information from Mr. Waldie.

CLASSROOM DONATIONS:
If you are looking for another way to help out our classroom, please take a look at my Amazon Wishlist. Thank you for your support!!

3rd Grade Supply List 2019-2020

Dear Third Grade Families,
In case you would like to get started on back to school shopping, I have included a list of supplies that your third grader will find helpful this year.

For the classroom:

  • (2)  writing composition books: 1 for writer’s workshop and 1 for word study and grammar (Feel free to decorate the front of them before the first day!)
  • (1) spiral notebook for your math journal
  • (2)  fine point dry erase markers for your whiteboard work
  • (2-3) glue sticks to contribute to our classroom shared supplies.
  • no.2 pencils (not mechanical pencils)
  • (1) small pack of colored pencils, crayons, or markers
  • scissors if you have some
  • (1-2) highlighters to contribute to our classroom shared supplies.
  • (5)  two pocket folders (plastic folders work best, but are not required). Do not send in a binder:
    • red
    • purple or orange
    • yellow
    • green
    • blue
  • tissue box, band-aids, or sanitizing wipes to donate to the classroom

For PE: 
• Gym shoes to be left at school. These do not need to be new, just clean shoes for Physical Education.

Optional:

  • small pencil pouch to store your supplies. Please do not send in any kind of pencil box. They are too big to store in the desk.
  • water bottle: preferably a small kids water bottle similar to the photo below, but no need to make a special purchase if you do not have one. Large plastic/metal water bottles tend to become a distraction on the desk top or they easily tip and spill!  

Happy Shopping!!
🙂
