Hello Families,
Welcome Wildcats! From all of the third-grade teachers, we would like to welcome you back to a new school year! We are excited to start this new journey with you and our third graders. This year is a very important year in your child’s academic career. With the F.A.S.T. that the students are required to take, there is a lot of hard work ahead. To ensure our third graders have a successful year there are some things you can do at home to help them:
- Review homework with student.
- Review corrected assignments with student.
- Communicate with teacher.
- Have students to read every night.
At Maxey Elementary School you will find a dedicated team of third-grade teachers. We have a vast background of teaching experience and skills, which we use to meet the needs of all third-grade students. Together, we plan and prepare curriculum that will meet the needs of all students in the areas of English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies.
With student’s first time seeing the F.A.S.T., third-grade is a crucial year in building independent learners. Our day consists of 90 minutes of reading which includes whole group and small group instruction. We also have a 60-minute math block where we work in whole group, small group, and independent instruction. We also go over science and social studies skills with the students.
We thank you for all that you do and we are very excited to be working with our new third graders this year!
Sincerely,
Your Third-Grade Teachers
