June 3, 2016 Dear Third Grade Parents: This year, we will be writing in journals. This is a great way for students to express themselves and develop writing skills. Journals are usually not corrected. The idea is for them to write, not to feel they are being evaluated. Each student will have the opportunity (over the summer) to personalize their journal notebook (1 regular composition NB) by creating a collage, on the front and back covers. The collage can contain pictures, drawings, images you can print from the computer, words that represent them and anything that they really like. Once the collage is created, I ask you to please cover the journal again with clear contact paper. Please bring your journal ready on August 9th, during Student Orientation Day. Thank you in advance for your cooperation with this activity. Cordially, Third Grade Teachers
Journal Notebook: (1) Composition notebook as stated in our third grade Supplies List
Dear Parents and Guardians:
The third grade teachers are requesting that you colorcode your child's notebooks in the binding part of the notebook and cover them with clear contact paper. Some ways you can colorcode the notebooks is by using colored electrical tape, colored dots or regular strips of construction paper. (See the diagram below). The colors are as follows:
READING NOTEBOOK – RED
SPELLING/GRAMMAR NOTEBOOK – ORANGE
SPANISH NOTEBOOK – YELLOW
INQUIRY (SCIENCE / SOCIAL STUDIES) NOTEBOOK BLUE
(2) MATH NOTEBOOK – PURPLE (Graph Notebook 7mm) WITH MARGINS (SUNS OR MEAD BRAND)
(Both NBs must be brought on the first day.
We appreciate your cooperation in this matter. Cordially, Third Grade Teachers
June 8th, 2016 Dear Parents and Future Third Grade Students: Congratulations, you have completed 2nd grade successfully and will be soon entering a new adventure in 3rd grade. This packet is filled with many different engaging and fun math activities. Over the summer vacation, I strongly encourage you to set aside some time for your child to work on these skills to ensure continued progress in the skills learned in second grade. You should not try to complete the packet in one day. Instead, we recommend that you work through the packet in small sessions week to week. You may find problems that are challenging, nevertheless make your best attempt to complete them. Adults should not solve the problems for you, but can gently remind you of any forgotten or "rusty" skills. Those who finish the packet, please hand in no later than August 12th, 2016. This is not a mandatory summer assignment, but it would greatly benefit your child. Thank you in advance for your continued math practice over the summer months! Your 2nd Grade Teachers
