Dear Third Grader,
Hi! My name is Mrs. Kumar, and I will be your Third grade teacher this year. I am so excited that
you will be in my class ! I can't wait to meet you and start our year together. I know you are going to
love Third grade.
Our classroom is a very busy place to learn. Your help will be needed throughout the school year and
room moms are also needed and very much appreciated. Our classroom environment is structured by
a variety of hands-on learning activities, games and learning centers.
Communication
Communication is essential. Email is the best way to communicate with me. You can send me an email at [email protected]. You can also visit our class website for weekly updates and see everything that
we are doing.
Behavior
We use the green, blue, yellow, red behavior plan in our classroom. Each day, every student begins on green. After a
student is not following directions or misbehaves they get a warning and are placed on yellow. If the behavior continues
then they are moved to red and will get a note home. Throughout the day, if the students' behavior changes, they can
move up or down the behavior system.
Homework
Each day students will bring home a "homework folder" in which they will have activities to
complete. In addition, they will read 20 minutes every night and complete the reading log. Please make
sure that a parent or guardian signs it every night. This is considered to be a part of their homework.
Snacks
Students are required to bring a snack in each day. Please send in a healthy snack. Your child may bring in a water bottle each day and will be allowed to keep it at their desk to drink throughout the day.
