Third grade is a growing year! We are working to develop good study habits, keeping track of assignments in our planners, turning in work on time, following written directions, and taking responsibility for our actions. Please encourage your young scholars, but let them learn by doing things for themselves. Support them, but don’t take away their responsibilities. Celebrate their successes and show empathy when they fall and help them get back up to try again.
Planners/Assignment Books – One way to help your child is to review their planner with them each day. They should bring their homework folder home every day, even if they do not have any written homework left to finish. (Please note that homework should always come back to school with them the next day, even if it is not completed. They may be able to complete it at school and avoid having a late paper. If it is left at home to finish, the choice of a late assignment has already been made.)
Redo assignments – assignments to be redone have a percentage less than 75%, or will have a note that says “Please redo”. On a separate piece of paper, please have your student put their name, date, and assignment that is being redone. Both the original assignment and the redo need to be attached together and turned in by Mondays each week. Please contact me if there are any questions about the redo assignments. Redoing the assignments will help students to focus on problem areas and help them to prepare for testing.
School Scoop – If you need to look back at information from our K-3 Scoops from earlier, you will find a link to them by clicking the “School Scoop” tab at the top of the page. The K-3 Scoop has additional information and reminders that pertain to all of our classrooms. Please be sure to read it. It is sent out to you through your email.
Parent/Teacher Conferences – Conferences are scheduled for Thursday afternoon and evening on September 19th and again on Friday the 20th. Please use this link to the sign-up Genius to choose your conference time. Please contact me if you have questions or cannot find any time that works for you. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60B0B4DABAE2DA13-50968313-2024
