This school year is going by quickly!   Our class is a busy and exciting learning center.  The children are all doing well with their reading skills and they are all enjoying a wide variety of books.    Math facts are being memorized through games and worksheets.  New technology skills are being taught in computer class and we utilize our Active Board every day.   The third graders have the important job of collecting the school's Mission money, and they take the responsibility very seriously.  This class is very dedicated to their education, while knowing how to have fun at the same time!
    

Note to Parents:

  Parents often ask what they can do to help their child do well in school.  Some things to consider are:
    
  Have your child get a good night's sleep, and have them eat a healthy breakfast each morning.

  Designate an area for homework and have supplies such as flashcards, crayons and rulers on hand.  Kindly help them correct any errors when you see them.  Be firm that homework should be done neatly.

  Have your child read aloud daily.  Ask questions about the passages they have read.  Can they name the main characters?  Identify the setting?  Understand the motivation of the characters?  State the plot?

  Please help them study math facts.  They should know their addition, subtraction and multiplication facts quickly.
