Welcome to Third Grade!

Hope everyone is having a great week! I will be updating the Blog weekly. Please have your child check weekly for news in the classroom and special reminders. I usually will have it updated by Thursday. Homework and spelling words will continue to be written in the agenda. Please check this each night and sign or initial. Also, papers will come home each Thursday. Please sign those and send back. I will place a big red check when I have seen your signature and send the papers back. The papers should be sent back by the next Thursday. I appreciate your help with this.
