Classroom Information

I will be your teachers for all subjects (English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies).  We will also work on Social Emotional Learning as well as incorporate a bit of yoga into our schedule for mindfulness.

One of Ohio's initiatives is PBIS, or Positive Behavior Intervention Supports.  At BIS, students can receive Caught Being Good Tickets from any staff member for making good choices.  Students will also receive these in our classroom to encourage good behavior.  When students receive 5 Caught Being Good Tickets, they can turn them in for a raffle ticket.

Our classroom will be using the PAX Good Behavior Game.  This is a scientifically research-based program that encourages making good choices and improves self-regulation, not only in the classroom but in all aspects of life.  Students will be rewarded randomly for making good choices (known as PAX).  Students will receive gentle reminders should they make poor choices (known as Spleems).  

Homework will be written daily in your child's student planner.  Please check this daily for homework and other announcements.

Nightly homework in third grade is:

-Read for 20 minutes

-Practice math facts using flashcards, Xtramath, or ALEKS Quicktables.

Occasionally, students will be assigned a math workbook page or a reading workbook page.  On days when this is assigned as homework, it will be listed in the planner. 

• If your child would like to bring in a store-bought treat that students can enjoy at home, they may!  Please make sure the ingredients label is on the package.

• We will be using the Remind App to communicate this year.  Please be sure to sign up to get all the most up-to-date announcements.

• A newsletter will be sent out weekly to your email with weekly information.
