  1. Mr. Field’s Third Grade Class Welcome, parents!

  2. Welcome to Third Grade! • I will introduce you to third grade and to our classroom. • If you have any questions during my presentation, please feel free to ask.

  3. All About Me • My background • I grew up in Chardon, Ohio. • I live in Fairport Harbor with my wife Sharon and our three children, Christian (8 on 9/28) and Mary (5 yrs), and Emma (2 yrs). • My education • Received my degree in Early Childhood Education from Lake Erie College in 2004 • Received my Reading Endorsement from Lake Erie in May ’07 • Currently taking classes towards my Masters Degree in Administration

  4. New in Ohio Education • Third Grade Reading Guarantee • Rigor!!

  5. New in Riverside Local • Infinite Campus • New website for grades and student records • Currently unavailable to parents • ??????

  6. My Goals • To give your child the academic and social skills he/she needs to progress to fourth grade. • To provide a supportive and fun classroom environment. • To help your student make new friends and discover new interests.

  7. Classroom Community • Our classroom is a community. In our community, we have rules to help us get along with each other. • Our class rules are: • Work Hard, Always • Treat others as you want to be treated (Golden Rule) • Be respectful of all people • Be Wrong LOUD

  8. Class Subjects • The subjects we cover during third grade are: • Reading and writing • Phonics/ Spelling (Mrs. Ford) • Math • Science (Mrs. Rhomberg) • Social studies (Myself) • Specials (Music, Art, and Gym) • Trimesters 12 weeks of each (Gym, Music, and Art)

  9. A note about Math: • Timed tests in Mr. Field’s class • Climbing the tree, moving our Monkeys • Test value is 50 pts. • Move at your own pace • Why is it important?

  10. Homework • I will assign roughly 60 minutes of homework every night. This includes 20 minutes of reading. I will endeavor to keep homework in this time frame. If it is taking your child longer we can work together to find a solution. • XtraMath, allowed as a math assignment starting next week, Study Island assignments will still be due on Friday • Study Island assignments • Reading and Math every week, the assignment is set and active Monday and will lock on Friday night at midnight • Exception for shortened weeks, assignments will stay active till Saturday at Midnight.

  11. Planner • Planner will be used to record homework assignments and projects. I require that students show parents their planners every night and get a signature. • The reason behind this is to maintain communication between us and keep parents aware of what we are doing.

  12. Book Log/Calendar • Nightly record for assigned 20 minutes of Reading. I ask that this is initialed by parents and it is worth a homework point towards the reading grade. Log must be initialized to receive the points. • (1 point for every 20 minutes assigned. Weekends are worth 3 points.) • Students may read anything; a book, magazine article, newspaper, comic book, etc… • I will check this every day along with the Planner—my hope is that the students will fill out the logs independently, asking for parents to initial.

  13. Make-Up Work • If a student is absent from school, they will have the same number of days to make up work as they missed. • I will send home a “While you were away…” paper with the missing assignments listed. (haven’t started with the early absences)

  14. Projects • There will be periodic projects assigned throughout the school year. These will contain cross curricular exercises and will be due on a specific date. Late projects will be accepted but there will be points subtracted. Any questions regarding projects, please contact me.

  15. Tardiness • School starts at 8:35 A.M. • I take attendance at 8:50 A.M., per office request. However anyone coming in the room after 8:50 is considered tardy. Due to the amount of work we need to accomplish in the third grade, every moment is precious.

  16. Field Trips • Zoo- end of year trip is a definite. • Holden Arboretum • Working on other trips • Gas an issue

  17. Let’s Have a Great Year!
