If you would like to volunteer in the classroom, be a copy mom/dad, or chaperone on a field trip you must be DVUSD Volunteer Trained.

Sonoran Foothills offers three training opportunities throughout the school year.

Thursday, August 15th at 4pm in the Library

Wednesday, October 2nd at 5pm

Tuesday, February 4th at 7:30am

You can attend the volunteer training at any DVUSD school though. Here is the link where dates/schools can be found for the trainings: https://www.dvusd.org/Page/30646

Once you have completed the DVUSD Volunteer Training, please let me know so I can add you to our school's volunteer list!

Each night your child should have approximately 30 minutes of homework. Monday-Thursday they will have a math worksheet, as well as their nightly reading log. You can always verify homework by looking at the "Peek at our Week" Document above.

• Make sure your child is reading at least 15 minutes per day! This is the single most important thing you can do for your child's success. Books that are within 100 points of their Lexile (give or take) are best.
  
• Practice addition and subtraction at home! Flashcards or online math games are a great fun way to practice our math skills.
• Practice the weekly spelling words. Create flashcards or make a game out of them.
• Check their math homework- make sure they are showing their work and are on track. They will always have their Problem Set to look back on for help if needed.
• Be your child's #1 Fan!

Hello & Welcome to Third Grade!

My name is Ms. McCall and this will be my third year teaching elementary education. I graduated from Arizona State University with my bachelors in Early Childhood Education & Early Childhood Special Education in 2022. Since then, I have spent the past 2 years of my educational career teaching second grade. I've known since I was a young child that I wanted to be a teacher, so I am very excited to continue my journey with each of you this year!

Some fun facts about me are: I love anything Disney! My favorite flower is a sunflower. I am a dog mom to a heeler named Gunnar. I did a year of student teaching here at Sonoran Foothills with Mrs. Hartman in Third Grade! On my free time I love to read, workout, garden, and watch sports (Go Eagles!).

There is so much to look forward to in Third Grade! I am very excited to get to know each one of you and grow together as a class! It is going to be a WONDERFUL school year!💚

Love,

Ms. McCall
