Welcome to 3rd Grade

Welcome Back!!
I hope that everyone had a safe, enjoyable, and restful summer.
We will hit the ground running. Our first few days will find our class reviewing the rules for both Frank Long and our class. This is a necessity this year as we will have a new discipline policy/system in place not only school wide, but county wide.  We will being our study in Reading with a novel titled Mr. Popper's Penguins. In Math we will begin with place value, fluently adding/subtracting to/from 1,000 and rounding. In Science we will begin with our Magnet Unit and to round out our day we will use GA Weekly Studies for Social Studies. The Science Text and GA Weekly Studies have links in the right side bar of this blog so that students and parents can review the days lessons and study for tests. I have also included the Math text book as a reference. We will not work strictly out of the Math book, but will use it as a resource.
In addition to all of the usual subjects students will also be given daily instruction and practice in cursive writing. Students are not to complete any work in cursive (class work or homework) until all instruction has been completed. I will let the students and you know when they can begin writing in cursive.
Homework will be given Monday through Thursday in Math, Spelling, and Reading/ELA. All homework is to be completed nightly.  Students not completing their homework will have silent lunch and attend the Homework Study Room during recess.   Occasionally students will have Science and Social Studies homework.  I am confident that each and every student will rise to the many challenges that are ahead of them. I look forward to teaching, learning, and growing with each student. I know that we will have an OUTSTANDING year!!
