I need to talk to EVERY parent . I have added additional conference times. Please sign up for a time that works for you. If you cannot make it to school for a conference I will be happy to come to you!
Conferences- It's Time for Beginning-of-Year Conferences. I'm looking forward to meeting with each of you individually to discuss your child's performance data from the start of the year, as well as their progress so far this school year.

Old News, but still important!
Homework- Your child should read for 20 minutes every night. This is a consistent expectation. If your child does not have a specific reading assignment, such as a passage, they should still read every night. This is crucial for developing reading stamina. Please ensure that your child reads nightly.
Students will begin skip-counting as a nightly fluency practice. Each night, they should skip-count by the assigned number, repeating the sequence out loud to an adult four times. There is no need for students to write down the skip-counting. Please don't skip this assignment. Skip-counting establishes a strong foundation for learning multiplication. (I linked some fun skip-counting songs at the bottom of the Smore.)
Rules and Routines- Third grade moves quickly and includes a demanding curriculum. Students must take responsibility for following directions, maintaining focus on their learning, and engaging actively in lessons. It is essential for every student to arrive at school prepared to learn each day. Please remind your child every day to come to school ready to do his/her very best! We will address specific behavior concerns at BOY conferences.
Ice Cream- Your child may purchase ice cream on Fridays during lunch. Please send this money in a sealed envelope with your child's name on it. You can also add the money to your child's lunch account by clicking the link below. (You will need to register for an account.)

Snack- Please make sure that your child brings a small snack and a water bottle to school each day. Do not send flavored water or any other type of juice drinks for snack.
Folders/Planners- Please check, sign and clean out the planner each night. Look over and discuss any graded work and keep it at home.
