Welcome to my 3rd grade website! I am very excited about this year and have anticipated it's beginning since bidding my fifth graders from last year farewell. This is an important year for our kids as they take their first steps into the "big kids" side of education. Not only do they receive A, B, C grades in their core subjects this year, but they also delve into the wonderful world of state mandated testing. In April, they will test in both reading and math. I assure you, I will do my best to ensure your student is successful. I look forward to working with you in making this an exciting year for your student.
While here, you should be able to find the answer to any questions concerning your student's assignments, projects, and upcoming events throughout the school year. Check out the blog to see what assignments were given, complete with due dates, to check against the agendas that the students should be bringing home daily.
