We are off to a great start for the 2024-2025 school year.  I am eager to talk to you concerning your child’s individual progress. If and when you have concerns or questions, please email me, message me through Class Dojo, or call the school office at 664-9711 to set up an appointment for a conference. I am available for conferences Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings from 7:30-7:55. 

 

Let's Go Team! 
Learning is team effort between the parent, child, and teacher. I ask for your support and cooperation. A good relationship between the parent and teacher will make learning easier for your child. Please let me know any concerns you may have regarding your child’s progress.

Students do not usually have a lot of homework.  However, class assignments will need to be completed at home if they are not finished at school. Math homework will be given nearly every night. Students should begin practicing their multiplication facts by September.

 

Tests:

Language Arts:Tests will vary depending on each unit.

Reading: Lessons are daily and usally have about 30 lessons per module. Students will complete Daily Language and individualized reading instruction on their iReady Reading learning path daily. Students are expected to complete no less than 45 minutes and pass at least 3 lessons (one of which MUST be a comprehension lesson) with a 75% or better each week.

Math: Students will complete Daily Math each week with a Daily Math Assessement on Thursday. Students will be expected to complete individualized instruction on their iReady Math learning path daily. Students are expected to complete no less than 45 minutes and pass at least 3 lessons with a 75% or better each week. Students are expected to study their multiplication facts and become fluent by the 2nd semester. Students will be tested weekly on content learned for that week.

Folders:
Folders will be sent home every Thursday. Inside this green folder, you will find all graded papers. Please check this folder and discuss his/her papers each week. Please sign and send any F papers back on Friday.  If you have any questions or comments, please send a note, an email, a message on Dojo, or call the front office. I do make mistakes, so you should always go over and double check your child’s work.

 

Third Grade Schedule:
School begins at 7:55 and ends at 3:16.

Our lunch is from 11:15–11:45.

Discipline:
Everything will be marked on DOJO.  I will give the students a verbal warning. If behavior continues it will be marked on Dojo with a loss of a point.  If student continues unwanted behavior, a loss of another dojo point and the parent is notified.  Afterwards the student will lose recess and a parent will be notified of continued behavior and loss of recess; if a student loses more than 2 recess in a week, he/she will lose Fun Friday. Lastly, the student will report to the office for further discipline such as after school dentention or suspension.     

 

Parties:

Holiday parties will be announced. Birthday celebrations (Birthday Buffet) will be held at the end of each month on a designated day chosen by the teacher. Parents can bring birthday goodies for their birthday child on that day. 

 

Field Trips:
All monies must be paid (supply fee) in order for a student to go on any field trip. Everything is paid online; please do not send cash/check to the school. If you need help, please call the office. Students must wear grade level shirts on all field trips. Going a on field trip is a priviledge and ill behavior will not be tolerated. All monies paid for a field trip is NON-REFUNDABLE. 

 

Attendance:
Please make every effort to have your child present and on time each school day. Being absent or late for school can affect a child’s ability to learn and perform to his/her potential. It is difficult for a student to make up missed class work. Help make this year a smooth and productive one by emphasizing attendance and punctuality.

***Many grades this year will come from class work, group work, participation in class, and observations made by the teacher. Therefore, it is very important that your child attend school regularly.***

If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know. I look forward to working with you and your child this year. Let’s make this the best year ever!
