This is the same program that our second graders baked cookies for last month. Students in other grades are also invited to participate by bringing in tuna as well.

Welcome to third grade! Thank you to all of the parents who attended Back to School Night last week! It was a pleasure meeting you all. I look forward to a great year.
A few reminders as we start off the new school year:
1. Homework- students are responsible for writing down their homework assignments in their Student Planner. Please remind them to refer to their planner when at home. In addition, planners must be signed by the parent/guardian every night.
2. Students should be reading a minimum of 20 minutes per night.
3. Always check your child’s “homework binder” for any notes sent home.
4. Please let me know via note or in person if your child will be pulled out early on any particular day.
5. The bottom Activity sections in the practice books do NOT need to be completed.
Thank you for all of your support at home- it makes a difference!!!
