Sign Up for Xtra Math

I sent home a letter explaining how to sign up for Xtra math online.  We will be using this at school sometimes so please sign up.  You can use this at home to help encourage your child to practice his/her facts.  It also provides me with information on what your child needs to work on.

Homework Policy

I went over with your child the homework policy for our classroom this year.  Please sign and return it when you can.  You will receive another copy of this at Curriculum Night for you to keep for your record in my Parent Handbook.

Math Facts

We began with addition math facts this week.  Math fact practice will usually be twice a week.  Please practice your math facts with your child at home.  I sent home a login to a great website called Xtramath.  Please sign your child up.  This will help your child keep up on their math facts.  I will send home an additional sign up next week if you need an extra copy.  Some students are already on there and at work!

Character Counts

We discussed the 6 pillars of character this week.  We read and acted out plays, skits and read stories demonstrating the six pillars of character which are trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship.  They learned about our Character Counts plan.  It was sent home today.  Please look it over and let me know if you have any questions.

Welcome to 3-5!

Hi!  Welcome to a new school year!  I am so excited to be teaching third grade this year!  I am so excited for everything we are going to learn and accomplish this year!
