Reading is taught with both whole group and small group instruction.
Sometimes students will have books or materials to read for homework and
return the next day.
Please make sure students have a book to read at school. They will have
time to enjoy their books throughout the day.
Students will participate in the DIBELS reading fluency assessment. This will
take place three times throughout the school year. Our goal for third grade is
100 words per minute with a focus on accuracy.
I also LOVE to read aloud to the children daily in hopes of passing on my love
of books.
Grading Scale: 50%-class work/quizzes
50%-tests
We will be using McGraw-Hill Wonders. This series has five stories per unit.
The testing program for the current reading series consists of units/themes
covering vocabulary, phonics, comprehension, and study skills. Each unit will take
about six weeks to cover. We will spend two weeks focusing on one particular
comprehension skill. Students will complete a quiz every other week that covers
skills taught throughout the two week period. The quiz will consist of fresh reads. It
will not cover an individual story, but focus more on application of skills we have
worked on throughout the week. Quiz dates will always be announced on the
weekly newsletter.
*Science grades will come from classroom experiences and activities. It is pertinent
that students are present and actively participate in science instruction and tasks.
**Students will have access to science materials online through a login code that will
be provided.
Three days a week students will participate in Shine Time Groups. These groups
allow teachers time to meet the individual needs of all students through
intervention and enrichment opportunities.

**Please be mindful that I am TEACHING your children. I only check email a few
times each day. Important information should be sent through a note or the office.
Conferences: I am readily available to meet or speak with you after school or during
conference times. Monday and Tuesday afternoons are reserved for Faculty and
Grade Level meetings.
Our school is piloting a new system called Raptor. Visitors to the school will be
required to provide a valid, government-issued ID in order to visit your child. This is
to better protect our students, visitors, and staff. Thank you for your cooperation!
