MORNING & AFTERNOON SNACK
Snacks: This is an important item in third grade because students arrive at school before 8 am and they don't eat lunch until 11:40. Kids get very hungry when they are working hard! We will usually have snack at about 9:00 each morning and at 1:45 in the afternoon. If it is easier, you might consider putting a week's worth of snacks in the backpack... say 10 granola bars... That way if your child normally has hot lunch, it only has to be addressed once a week.
I could not be more excited to be a part of the Gold Camp staff and the 3rd Grade team! I feel third grade is one of the best grades to teach. The students are excited and inquisitive! I am thrilled for the new year.
**Sending me an email will be the best way to get in touch with me. Please find my email at the Gold Camp website by clicking here. Please be aware that most days, I only check email before/after school and during breaks. If it is something urgent, please call the front office.
Missing Assignments
If a student forgets their homework or forgets to do it, they may turn it in the following day; but they will not get full credit.
If a student misses school, they will have two days for every day absent, starting the day after their return, to make up the work. A student will lose points for every day an assignment is late following the allotted time.
Report Cards
A report card is not a judgment of your child's worth as an individual. It does not measure the delight he or she gives, the humor in those young eyes, or the hope for tomorrow. It measures only one aspect of a young life with so much untried potential. After only a few years of life we cannot judge their lives to be successes nor failures at anything. Please look at your child's report card with love and acceptance of how things are right now. Give it only the importance of the moment - notice and point out the good and positive, emphasize what your child is doing right and build on that to improve what needs improving. Young developing egos are fragile - handle with care and nourish all that your child is and can be.
