Classroom News
Welcome to third grade!  I'm so excited about this class and looking forward to a great year.  We're getting to know each other and starting to work on all of our subjects.
Our first theme, fairy tales, is just the beginning of our magical learning adventure.
I love to teach writing.  This quarter I will emphasize the writing process and the traits of good writing.  The 6-Traits (actually 6+1 now) are: organization, word choice, voice, sentence fluency, conventions, ideas, and presentation.
 Please check our calendar section to see the dates for special activities.
