Learning Outcomes

 This year, you can expect that your child will learn: 

Third grade is a BIG year for students as they gain more independence and become more responsible.  It is also a critical year academically, as they are required to meet rigorous academic standards.  There is a lot to learn in third grade and much for you as parents to know about our class.  I look forward to working with your child this school year and for the opportunity to be in partnership with you.  Together, we can help make your child have an enjoyable, successful, and memorable third grade year!
