Introducing....Third Grade 2019-2020!

Welcome to my classroom blog, where I hope you find helpful information!  Above this post you'll see tabs for different "pages" that will have helpful information.  I update the agenda page weekly, and the spelling information as needed.  Usually our spelling lists are for two weeks, and there will be a place where you can click to see what activities children can do with their spelling words for the month.  Since I will be teaching your children language arts, as well as math and science this year, more tabs may show up along the top for other information. 

At the bottom is a symbaloo, which is simply a way for me to put websites together for the students to access easily.  For example, one box is for Spelling City.  When we have spelling words, I will update my Spelling City account and students can click there to go directly to the list we are using rather than going to Spellingcity.com and having to look for my list or typing in the words themselves.  I will be adding math and science links to the symbaloo as I find appropriate sites for students to use to enhance their learning. 

Coming soon!  Curriculum night!  (Or it might be called Open House?)  This is where parents and guardians are invited to the school to hear about expectations for third grade.  The third grade teachers will tell you a bit about what units we cover in the different subjects, we'll fill you in on the behavior chart, and other things that we do in third grade.  After we meet together as a grade level, we'll invite you back up to the classrooms where you can see what your child has been doing for the first few weeks of school.   This will be held the week of September 9th.  More details when I get them!

If you would like to fill out my online form for student information, the link to complete it is:

It works best on a Google browser!  If you use a different web browser, the formatting is a bit wonky.

Some parents have asked me about donations for the classroom.  I am putting together a wishlist on Amazon, and I will share that soon.  

I am looking forward to a great year with your children-- we had a great first two days!
