The third-grade team will be working together remotely to make sure the students get all the instruction they need while we are completing digital learning days. We have a lot to choose from! Luckily these students are very good with technology. Learning materials and lessons will be available on the 3rd grade blog. All 3rd grade teachers will be available for email communication M-F from 9:00 – 10:30 am. Please continue to monitor the blog daily for any updates. We plan to utilize online resources the children are already familiar with. In addition, we are sending home a gold sheet that will help you access online resources with your child. Please pace yourself. Each blog post has materials for a week. Explain to your children it is like a must-do option. They may choose what to complete each day, however all assignments should be completed by the end of the week. Thank you so much for all of your continued support. Sincerely, The 3rd Grade Team Please see the files below on how to access resources at home.

We would like to help The Ronald McDonald House and Kate’s Club. Ronald McDonald Houses provide a place for families to call home so they can stay close by their hospitalized child at little or no cost, being able to focus on the health of their child. Kate’s Club provides a positive, uplifting environment to help grieving children ages 5 – 18 experiencing the death of a parent, sibling or primary caregiver. Since February is Random Acts of Kindness Month and next week is Teacher Appreciation Week, we will be encouraging students to focus on kindness, respect and appreciation of each other. We are asking each grade level to donate specific items as listed below to help these 2 organizations. If you would like for your child to participate, please send in the item listed below for the grade level of your child, starting next week and continuing until the end of February. Thank you for your support and generosity.
