September: Fall is in the air...
I hope you had an amazing summer! This month we will spend the first few weeks building community and positive work habits. Open House is Thursday Sept 11th at 5:30. Students will share the class agreements they made based on our building's SOAR rules, and show you around the classroom. Sign ups for fall conferences canwill be sent in Parent Square, or you can email me directly. In person is best, as we'll have work to show you, but we can do virtual if it's more convenient.
Third grade is a little different from the previous years. We will work hard on learning independence and problem solving strategies, developing a growth mindset, and we will be shifting from learning to read to also reading to learn. This transition takes some time but I am confident we will be successful together. Do not hesitate to call or email if you have concerns or ideas!
Be sure to see the math and ELA pages to see resources for the things we will be studying in our first units. There are lots of resources, practice games and videos on this website, so take some time to explore.
We look forward to working with your family this year!
