First of the year details

Posted on September 5, 2018

Hello 3rd grade familes,

Just a short post with some need to know details for you.

1.  This is the third grade blog.  There are posts from me, there are posts from Katie on it.  You will receive an email when we have posted something we want you to see with the link to the post.  Of course you are welcome to look through all of the blog posts from the both of us.

2.   Math/Reading: One thing that is a big change is that your child will have both Allison and me as teachers this year. In the afternoons, my class will go to Allison’s room for math and Allison’s class will come to me for reading. This is our second year of departmentalization and we have found that it really allows for us to go deeper with content and really get to know who students are as readers/mathematicians. Your child will still do Storyline, community building, specials, and reading with my “homeroom”. This week, we switched a couple of times so that each class could learn routines and meet the teacher. Next week, we will switch and begin our reading/math instruction!
