Third Grade Expectations
Students should be very familiar with the rules and expectations of the school. However, third grade is new to them so they will have to learn the third grade way. There are times when students forget and must be redirected of expectations not only in the classroom, but outside of the classroom as well.
We would love for..
All students to come to class ready to learn.
All students to participate and put forth effort each day.
All students to be respectful not only to us, but to others and themselves as well.
All students to keep their hands and feet to themselves.
All students to keep negative comments about others to themselves. We will NOT tolerate any form of bullying whether it is physical or verbal.
All students to wait until we stop speaking if they have a comment or question.
All students to ask for help when they don't understand something. We are here to help!
All students to have FUN and love coming to school, because we will have lots of FUN!
Behavior Codes & Consequences
Dear 3rd Grade Parents,
You might be surprised to know that third grade is typically thought of as the most important year in a child's academic career. It's the year that students move from learning to read - decoding words using their knowledge of the alphabet - to reading to learn. Where academic performance and school expectations are concerned, big changes occur in third grade!
When children enter into 3rd grade, the level of work and expectation becomes much more challenging than what they experienced in previous grades. The reading passages get harder, the amount of writing gets longer, and the level of abstract thinking in mathematics increases. There is a noticeable increase in homework because this is the year that your child has to memorize multiplication facts and other important foundational information.
As a parent, you can help your child lessen the increased stress of performing well at school by offering lots of encouragement. Praise the effort they put into learning a new concept, memorizing facts, or spending extra time to do an assignment well. Be sure to reassure your child that tests and grades do not necessarily determine future success. If your child faces difficulties, or even failure, help them see that these moments are all part of the learning process.
I am here to work with you to make third grade the most successful year for your child!
