Dear Parents and Third Grade Friends,

 

Welcome to Third Grade!  School begins on Tuesday, September 7, 2010.  However, our Open House will be held on Wednesday, September 1st from 5:30-6:30.  Our classroom is on the second floor and it is room 206.  I have kept the name "Third Grade Friends".  Many of you know we work every month on character education traits so I thought that already thinking about our new classmates as friends would be a nice way to greet each other.

 

The school doors open at 8:30 and our day starts at 8:50.  Lunch money needs to be brought on the first day of each week.  If you bring your lunchbox, please have your name inside it.  If your child will be buying breakfast it will be $1.00, the whole lunch it will be $1.75 per day and just milk will be $.50.

 

We will have a Six Day Schedule once it is completed and I will insert it into the columns at the bottom left of the webpage.  Please try to bring your art smock and wear your sneakers as we could have either or both of those specials on the first day of school. Just in case you aren't sure, an art smock is any old t-shirt, or an actual art smock will do as long as it covers your school clothes from paints and other fun art things.  We will be having lockers down the hall by the Girls Room on our hall.  Please do not bring any type of lock as they are not permitted on the lockers.  The backpacks on wheels don't fit into the lockers either.

 

Our list of school supplies is below.  I have already purchased the spiral notebooks we will be using, so you won't need any other notebooks or loose leaf paper.  We won't need any three ring binders either.

  • 1 backpack or book bag

  • 1 package of #2 pencils (Please no mechanical pencils.)

  • 1 glue stick

  • 1 box of Kleenex - (Please put your name on the bottom of the box.)

  • 1 roll of paper towels

  • 1 box of crayons (24 is plenty!)

  • 1 centimeter/inch ruler

  • 1 fun pocket folder (This is to take papers home.)

  • 1 pair of sneakers for every day we have gym class

  • 1 old t-shirt or art smock for art class

  • 1 pencil box or zippered plastic case for your supplies

  • 1 water bottle with your name on it! (A 20 oz. one is plenty!)

  • Please come with a smile on your face to start the day off right!

This will begin my 33rd year as a classroom teacher here at Guardino Elementary School.  My husband and I live in the village with one dog and two cats.  We enjoy the river, reading, cooking and gardening.

 

Hopefully you are finding ways to have fun this summer and are enjoying yourself with your family and friends!
