Wednesday Folders

Be sure to look for your child’s Wednesday Folder that will be sent home every Wednesday afternoon. The folder will contain important information from both the classroom and the school. Please read the folder’s contents and return the empty folder with your child the following day.

Infinite Campus/Parent Portal

You can check your child’s academic progress via Infinite Campus. If you are not familiar with the Parent Portal please contact the school office. They will get you set up with a password and instructions on how to access your child’s current grades, assignments and missing work.

Homework

We will post daily homework assignments in our homework calendars. As a general rule, third grade students will have 30 minutes or less of homework per night. Please contact us if your child is doing an excessive amount of homework each night.

Late Work

Late work will be marked 10% off. Students can, and should advocate for themselves if additional time is needed for an assignment. Assignments will be marked in Infinite Campus as missing. Once the student turns the assignment in, their grade will be entered and it will be marked as late.

Nut/Peanut Aware Environment

Here at Littleton Prep, there are a number of children with very serious life-threatening nut/peanut allergies. As a school dedicated to the safety of all students, we recognize the need to minimize the potential exposure to nut/peanut in the actual classroom environment for our allergic students. Since students frequently change classrooms due to ability grouping and utilizing common space for specials and after school activities, all classroom learning spaces will be nut/peanut restricted. The following nut/peanut awareness guidelines will be implemented:

* Make every effort to create nut/peanut restricted classroom environments. Parents, staff and students are asked to not send nut/peanut products to school with your child for snack.

* Extra hand washing is encouraged.

* Children are encouraged not to share food.

Classroom Expectations

In all third grade classrooms students are expected to; follow directions quickly, participate in all class activities, have their eyes on the target, raise their hand to speak, be kind and respectful, create a safe learning environment for all, and come to class prepared with supplies. These expectations help to protect the learning environment in our classrooms. 

Core Knowledge

The following are the areas of study for the month:

Skills- The students will be taught how to use their assignment calendars. Students are required to fill out calendars daily and take them home each night to assist with homework. We introduce cursive writing skills.

Science- Investigating Forces

History/Geography-  World Rivers

Birthdays - Students will be recognized and celebrated on their birthday by their homeroom teacher. As stated in school policy, please refrain from bringing in treats or goodies for the class.

Paraprofessionals – We are pleased to have Mr. Malagon as our classroom paraprofessional this year.
