July News - Welcome!

Hello families!

Welcome to third grade! I am SO excited to work with your child this year! I really enjoyed meeting everyone at Meet the Teacher! We had a wonderful first week of school and I look forward to a fantastic year!

Monthly News

I will be sending two monthly news/updates emails throughout the year. Expect to see this on the first school week of each month and one again mid-month. Please make sure to read this! It will include volunteer opportunities, updates in our classroom/school, and assessment dates. This monthly news will also be posted on my class website (http://missblackton.wix.com/third) and emailed to any emails you included on my Google Form/QR code.

If you have not yet signed up for my Google Form, you will see this email in paper form. Please complete the Google Form at your earliest convenience. Also make sure to explore my classroom website - it has a TON of great resources for third grade.
