“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who’ll decide where to go…”

Meet our 2021-2022 class...
Look at the great new faces in our third grade classroom! We had a great first day and I can tell that we will have a great year! Students started out learning the procedures of third grade and getting to know one another. We have been sharing a little about ourselves with short presentations on the big screen in front of the class. It is fun learning about family, pets, interests, and more. Keep checking back to watch the great things we do this year! I am so glad to meet you all and have you as part of our Triton Third Grade Family!

Welcome to 3rd Grade!
It is hard to imagine how fast summer break seems to have gone, but here we are, ready for a new school year! I am sure this will be a fantastic year in every way. I am super excited to meet everyone and dive into many new and interesting activities. Some activities we will be trying will include testing out a new social studies series, learning multiplication and division, plus creating several engineering design projects, just to mention a few! Sure, I know everyone might not feel as thrilled about school as I do, but I will try my best to make it all as fun and painless as possible.
You have likely heard it can be a tough transition from second grade to third grade and about the dreaded testing that third graders have to be involved in. Parents and students get pretty nervous with all the new things that will happen in this grade. I promise to make every effort to help us all be successful. Here is how we can make this year great: I count on parents to encourage their children often to be great listeners, to always try (even when it is hard), ask questions, and use time wisely in class. You can count on me to be there for your child and for you! I love trying to find ways to make learning as pleasant as possible and I want to keep families informed! I want you to know what is going on in our learning environment! There are many ways to know what is going on (this web page, Class Dojo, News notes, special notes, academic reports, Harmony On-line Grading, Weekly Homework logs, Weekly Mail/Progress Packets, etc.) These are ways I can make sure every family knows each week how their child is doing and what is happening in class. I also want families to feel like they can talk to me anytime as well. I do not feel bothered, so if you need me to answer questions, have concerns, or you just want to say things are going well, please do! Class Dojo is the easiest way to message me (see details below), but you can also call, visit, email, or send a note. You will hear back from me that same day. I truly believe if parents and teachers connect and work together, our kids are the winners!
