September 1, 2023 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcome to the 2023-24 school year.  I am so excited to get to know your child and work the next few weeks building our classroom community. The first day of school we read a book called, Our Class is a Family and we talk in detail about what that means and I truly believe we build a little family away from home. We will get to know each other, learn routines, and dive into positive relationships! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might be surprised to know that third grade is typically though of as the most important year in a child\u2019s academic career.  It\u2019s the year that students move from learning to read -decoding words using their knowledge of the alphabet -to reading to learn.  Big changes occur in third grade!  As their teacher, I will be giving them new responsibilities and challenges, in a structured, loving, environment.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am here to work with you to make third grade the most successful and \u201cBest Year Ever!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Communication<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will be primarily using our email group for communication.  Please feel free to email me at any time.  We will also be using Seesaw to share photos and we use this during class for assignments as well.  I\u2019m sure the students have told you they will receive a Chromebook this year.  These will be kept at school and used throughout the day, after coming up with class expectations and signing contracts together.  They will be learning how to check email, tech typing, create PowerPoints, use Canva, and safely utilize the many benefits of technology in 2023.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Classroom Environment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our classroom is a safe and welcoming place.  We are family!  We spend every morning gathering together for our morning meeting, which includes a message, chance to greet each other, sharing opportunities, and a fun activity.  I also use a program called Whole Brain Teaching, which you will learn more about at Curriculum Night, but basically celebrate individual growth and improvement. We say it\u2019s a virtual video game and I love to add \u201cfuntricity\u201d to everything!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Homework<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students will have homework assigned every Monday through Thursday.  You will notice there is an increase of quantity in third grade.  Please note that I ask that your child to also read for an additional 20 minutes each night.  They will have monthly book reports to complete.  As a parent, lots of encouragement and support is helpful.  They will be spending time memorizing multiplication facts this year, which is a big deal ;).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are partners and I\u2019m here to help your child succeed in the best way possible. If you have questions, suggestions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at school (360-733-6133) or the very BEST way to get ahold of me is by email (bwilliams@assumption.school<\/a>).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am confident this is going to be a great year and I\u2019m blessed to partner with you on our child\u2019s education.  Let\u2019s have an amazing third grade year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blessings,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mrs. Williams<\/p>\n\n\n\n
