  3. Third Grader’s Flight Plan

  4. Third grade is typically a year of great transition academically, emotionally, and behaviorally. The 3rd grade staff strongly believes in maintaining a healthy and productive parent-teacher-child relationship. We are all challenged to excel academically and to show we are super citizens by demonstrating the Randolph 3 R’s: *Respectful *Responsible *Ready to learn

  5. We strive to foster an “open door” policy. • We welcome any suggestions or assistance to provide your child the best possible education. Your child is most successful when we work together as a team. • We will communicate with you on a regular basis to keep you informed of events, projects, etc. Never hesitate to inquire about anything related to your child’s education. • We have a mutual mission this year, and we look forward to sharing this time with you and your family.

  6. Pledge to Partnership Parents and Teacher What we ask of you: • look at your child's work • role model the importance of school (on time; all day) • be encouraging and positive In turn we will: • be good listeners • provide an organized, safe and friendly • atmosphere • make every effort to see that your child has a • happy and successful school year

  7. Third Grade Curriculum Our curriculum is challenging, but manageable. As teachers, we offer the following comment: “In Grade 3, students read and write more independently than in any previous grade and spend significant blocks of time engaged in reading and writing on their own as well as in assigned tasks and projects.” • Chapter books and/or novel studies are introduced. • The writing process is emphasized. • Students master basic multiplication and division facts. • Social studies and science lessons are based on central strands of • instruction. • The inquiry method is used for science instruction. • Classroom laptops may be used for daily instruction.

  8. *Study hall is for assignments earning a grade below a 70 to be redone. The assignment will be re-graded and both copies sent home to you. Study hall may also be used for students who do not complete assignments. (Study hall is held during recess.) *Please remind your child to follow-up on any assignments that fall in this category. *Grades: Daily Work 50% Quizzes 20% Tests 30% Grading Policy

  9. You may track your child’s progress via Gradebook. All students will receive a mid-point progress report beginning the 2nd six weeks. Students receive report cards after the end of each six weeks. Report card envelopes and progress reports must be signed by the parent and returned to school. Student Progress Report Cards

  10. STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) Preparation for the STAAR test is ongoing and involves making explicit connections between good test-taking practices and good general learning practices. We strongly believe that the STAAR is not an event, but a way for students to demonstrate their learning. For that reason, we teach and reinforce all levels of processing skills in our classrooms. Our curriculum provides numerous preparation opportunities. We expect all of our students to pass both the Math and Reading STAAR tests. Testing windows are Math April 23rd and Reading April 24th. The TAKS Reading Test will be administered on and the TAKS Math Test will be administered on

  11. Discipline Students are expected to be respectful, responsible, and ready to learn. -Teachers look for opportunities to praise and reward correct behavior. -If a student misbehaves, they are given a verbal warning. -The second time, behavior will be documented by the teacher. • After the third infraction, parents are notified. • All serious infractions are dealt with immediately. The child is sent to the office, and the parent is notified.

  12. Conduct Grades Citizenship and Work Habit grades are based on following classroom rules. • Two or fewer teacher noted corrections =E • 3-5 =S • 6-8 =N • 9 or more =U .

  13. Homework -Homework is given in an effort to promote responsibility and to reinforce previously taught skills as well as organizational skills. -Homework is usually given Monday-Thursday. The work is sent home in a folder. Folders should be returned daily with completed work. -Spelling words are sent home the first day of every school week. -Each student is also responsible for implementing a daily/weekly at-home reading routine. Students are expected to for 20 minutes 4 times per week (Monday-Sunday). Students are expected to master all basic math facts through at-home practicing. These facts include addition and subtraction the 1st semester and multiplication and division the 2nd semester. • Adjustment to the normal homework routine is made during periods of special projects. • Finally, if a student chooses not to complete his/her work during class time, the incomplete work may be assigned for homework.

  14. Reading We are dedicated to teaching students effective reading strategies and instilling a love of reading. • Accelerated Reader is still in the works for this year. • Suggestions for reading homework: newspapers, magazines, Internet articles, shared reading, reading to a younger sibling. • We encourage students to read chapter books to build stamina and comprehension.

  15. Conferences *Conferences regarding a child’s education are essential for making the most of the opportunities provided. *Conferences may be initiated by the school or the parent. A parent who wants to schedule a conference with a teacher should contact their child’s teacher by phone or e-mail. *Generally a teacher will be able to meet with parents during his or her conference period. Other mutually convenient times may be arranged as well. *Before the end of the 1st 6 weeks, every parent will have a scheduled conference with their child’s teacher. Please sign up tonight for the time that is most convenient for you. *Additionally, parents may communicate with teachers by email and/or a phone call.
