Mrs. Lovin
3rd Grade
Embedded Files
Hello! I am Melissa Lovin, and this is my third year at Woodland. My husband, Eric, and I are both lifelong residents of Greenville and have been married for 30 years! Our daughter, Hannah, is 28 and an educator like her mom. Our son, Will, is following in his dad and sister’s footsteps this year as a junior at Clemson University. Go Tigers! Our family also includes one dog and two cats who have many adventures. I attended both the College of Charleston and USC Upstate, receiving my Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education. I am looking forward to furthering my education at Clemson over the next couple of years.
I have been in Pre-K - 8th-grade education for over 25 years at two area private schools. I joined the 3rd grade team two years ago coming from 5th grade. Knowing where your students' elementary journey ends, I also understand what it takes to get them there--socially, emotionally, and academically. I can't wait to see how high your kiddos soar this year!
Third grade is such a fun year with so many wonderful learning activities to celebrate. In order to have a successful year, my highest goal is to create a classroom environment where your child is a valued, trusted, and integral part of our family of learners.
I want to make 3rd grade his or her best year yet!

Classroom Management
On the first day of school the class and I will review the rules that we feel are needed for our classroom to be a safe, fun, and enjoyable learning environment. All children in the classroom are expected to follow this social contract along with the school-wide rules. Good behavior is vital to success in the classroom. I have high expectations for every student and look forward to helping them reach their full potential this year.
If any behavior situations arise, they will be handled on an individual basis. I will not contact parents for minor issues. If a situation warrants, I will contact parents through either email, phone call, or a note home.
Classroom rules
Classroom rules
My classroom has one rule:
If what you are doing is hurting your classmates or yourself, either physically or emotionally, you should stop doing it!
These guidelines help my students understand what it means to be true leaders in the classroom:
Listen carefully to all directions.
Expect to do great things!
Always treat everyone with kindness and respect.
Don’t sweat it! Everyone makes mistakes (Even me!).
Consequences for breaking the rules:
1st offense: Warning ( I usually give 2 warnings with gentle feedback before considering it a true 2nd offense).
2nd offense: Fix-It Ticket (self-reflection guide); sent home for parents to sign.
3rd offense: Phone call home
If the behavior continues or if the offense involves putting hands on another student in anger, administration will be contacted for further consequences.
