Welcome to Third Grade! Welcome to my class. I’m looking forward to working with you and your child this year. We have many fun and educational activities planned. You’ll be hearing a lot about them in the weeks ahead. Third grade is a time of transformation where students begin to apply their reading and writing skills in creative and thoughtful response. Students are now ready to begin cursive writing, multiplication, fractions, and even some decimals! To help ensure that your child begins the year on positive footing, please take some time to review the Student Handbook together. There you will find the answer to many questions you may already have. Third graders are assigned homework every night; however we try very hard to keep Fridays free. Homework consists of spelling and vocabulary practice and math practice. Work not completed in class is assigned for home as well. Third graders can expect to work about 30 minutes each night. If you find that your child is consistently working for longer periods, please contact me. Third grade is a great place to be and I am very excited to be a part of the third grade team.
