Welcome Students and Parents!

Welcome to Room 213 and Third Grade!

I am delighted to have your child in my classroom. It's going to be a fabulous year. We are going to have fun and learn so many new things! I love the third grade curriculum, and I know you will too!

I hope you have had a wonderful summer. I look forward to hearing about your summer activities or trips!

I am enclosing the third grade “Supply List” which you received in June, just in case you’ve misplaced it. I also have a short list of additional items if you get a chance to stop by Fred Meyer or Bartells. If there is anything you can’t find, don’t worry! I appreciate your help.

Please have your child bring a silent reading book each day to class.

Please have your child label all items (with name or initials on smaller things) using their sharpie pens. This helps us return things to their right owners!

Supplies for our use in Room 213:

- clear plastic ruler (with both metric and U.S. measurements)

- two blue ballpoint pens

- one ruler with both inches and centimeters



Optional:

- one small water bottle with name on it (I recommend the #2, 4, or 5 plastic, these are safer…the #s are on the bottom.) This must have a non-spill lid w/ drinking spout.
