Back to School!

I am so happy to be getting to know each and every one of your children. We've had a great first two days. While we are still taking time to grasp new routines, we have managed to do a few "get-to-know-you" activities, start our first novel in class ("The Witches" by Roald Dahl), and start learning about the Saints recognized in our Catholic Church. 

A few reminders for you and your children:

• Today was our first day to write in planners. Please remember to sign the planner nightly. This allows you to see what we accomplished in school that day and see if your children have any homework. It also promotes responsibility for your child.
• Tuesday folders go home weekly. Please be sure to review them with your child and return them signed, along with any graded work and forms.
• Your children's first homework assignments are to make sure the class contract, homework contract, and parent survey are returned by Friday. Each of these forms are a great help to me in creating a curriculum that meets your child's needs. Thank you for your help with this, and please feel free to include any information that you feel will help me teach your child.

I can't wait to see what your children accomplish this year in 3rd grade. If you ever have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at school, my email, or through notes in the planner!

Sincerely, 
Mrs. Owen
