Welcome to the AJ Whittenberg Elementary School of Engineering 3rd Grade Team website! We are excited to partner with you for a year filled with learning, curiosity, creativity, and growth. Third grade is an exciting and important year as students strengthen their reading, writing, math, and problem-solving skills while becoming more confident, independent learners.

At AJ Whittenberg, we believe greatness is built through purpose, perseverance, and teamwork. Just as every gear plays an important role in keeping a machine moving, every student, teacher, and family member is an essential part of our learning community. This year, we are encouraging all of our students to GEAR Up for Greatness by embracing challenges, thinking critically, asking questions, collaborating with others, and never giving up when learning gets tough.

Through hands-on learning experiences, engineering design challenges, and engaging classroom activities, our students will discover that greatness isn't about being perfect, it's about growing each day, celebrating progress, and always doing their best.

We look forward to partnering with your family as we inspire our students to become creative thinkers, compassionate leaders, and lifelong learners. Together, we'll keep the gears turning and make this an amazing year of learning, discovery, and achievement!

-Mrs. Anders, Mr. Harris, Mrs. Knott, and Mrs. Waldner
