I am delighted to help nurture your student's love for learning this year in third grade! Our class will actively cultivate a sense of community through a STEAM-oriented curriculum, involving hands-on science projects with a strong emphasis on the "Makers" approach. In addition, we will prioritize the development of reading and writing skills through purposeful instruction as well as integrating them across all subjects. Throughout the year, we will also devote attention to cursive handwriting and typing skills to give students the 21st century silks we will need to communicate. In addition, we will delve into the fascinating realms of diversity and cultures both globally and within our own classroom, while also tackling more advanced mathematical concepts such as multiplication and fractions.

Moreover, we will incorporate social-emotional practices from the Toolbox Project into our daily routines. Students will practice logical skills and collect them as "tools" to help them through our daily struggles. We also intend to use group work and whole class discussions to support their social emotional skills in the learning community.

I am so excited to support your student's success in third grade and any needs your family might have from Kid Street! Please don't hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions.
