    WELCOMTO 

    THIRGRADE

     

    Hi, I'm Mrs. Smith. I am so excited to meet all of you. We are going to have an awesome year. There are a few changes. Please remember to wear your mask, to wave to your friends and spread kindness everywhere. 

    Meals: Breakfast will be a grab-and-go and eaten in our classroom, room 312. Lunch will also be grab-and-go and our class will eat lunch in the music room to maintain social distancing. 

    Physical Education: On Monday, Thursday and Friday the students will have PE so dress accordingly. On days we don't have PE my plan is to have recess outside, weather permitting.

    Supplies: Please send wipes, hand sanitizer and ziplock bags if you were able to purchase these but keep all other supplies at home for now. Each student has enough supplies to start the year and I will notify you when they need more.

    Homework: I will not be sending homework home. Students at Greenway already spend an extra hour a day at school to improve our reading scores. The best way too continue the learning at home in reading is to read! Reading comprension improves with fluency - have your child select a book and read a page. If your child misses 5 or more words, the book is too hard. For Math - children can learn multiplication tables at home. 

    I have signed the students up for Readworks and Kahn academy - two excellent at home learning platforms. I will suggest passages and activities from these sites but they are optional.  

    I am in the process of connecting with parents on Class Dojo which is probably the best way to communicate with me.

    Take Care!

    Mrs. Smith
