| This year in 3rd grade,
we are alternating social studies and science. The first part of the nine
weeks will be science and the second half will be social studies. This
will allow us more time to focus on the essential skills, which they
will be tested on in the Spring. Sometimes it is hard to complete a chapter
in one week. This allows us sufficient time to complete our units. Therefore,
Science and Social Studies grades on the report card will alternate.
Please monitor your
child's homework very closely. Good character is encouraged in 3rd
grade. Every child must have his/her homework, class work, good behavior,
and arrive on time to school in order to participate in rewards. School
begins at 7:50 and we begin teaching promptly after the morning announcements.
Thank you parents for
helping us to get off to a terrific start. We are looking forward
to working with each of you and your child this year. This is going to
be a very challenging year so we will need all your support. Please
be sure that your child is here every day and is on time. Homework
is a reinforcement, therefore we need for you to see that it is returned
each day. Discipline and self-control are necessary to complete our daily
task, therefore the following are our classroom rules that should
be reinforced each day.
