Third Grade News – Week of August 19-23, 2019
Welcome to Third Grade! I am delighted to be working with your children this year! We've had a great first 6 days of school. I will send out the weekly update every Monday afternoon and will also attach this to my class website. https://msbhogan.weebly.com/ This year third grade will be departmentalized. Students will have a literacy teacher who will teach reading, grammar, writing, cursive writing and health. The math teacher will teach math, science, and social studies. The third-grade literary teachers are: Mrs. Clark Mrs. Hogan Mrs. McGiboney The third-grade math teachers are: Ms. Collins Ms.Garcia Mrs. Holden Ms. Campbell had an opportunity to loop up with her students and is in a self-contained classroom, so is teaching all subjects. Students and teachers are subject to change after the ten-day count. Dolvin has adopted a new grading policy this year. Grades will be made of 50% summative assessments which may include quizzes, short tests, unit tests, and projects. The remaining 50% of the grade will be comprised of classwork and projects. Homework will not be graded. While it is not graded, students will be expected to practice skills as assigned by their teachers. The first week of school was spent getting acquainted and practicing routines and procedures. We practiced our school-wide drills and learned what is expected of all students in the classroom, bathroom, hallway, and cafeteria. We will continue to work on these expectations throughout the year and will need your help to continuously reinforce these good habits. Communication Journals went home on Friday. These are the purple folders. This will come home daily. There is a letter on the first page that explains this folder to parents. In this folder you will also find the school’s expectations/rules along with a calendar. Students will earn a sticker each day. If students do not follow the expectations a note will be written in that particular day versus a sticker. Once a certain number of stickers are earned, students will get to choose a prize. I do ask that you look at the calendar daily to see how your child’s day was. Spelling list will also be found in this folder in the next week. I will notify you once it is placed in the folder. In reading, we will begin our literary standards by reading stories and learning about characters and their traits and settings in stories. In grammar, we will be reviewing common and proper nouns and in writing we will begin working on narrative writing.
