Parent+Page

Parents,

Throughout the year, I will be posting links and articles for your reading pleasure. These are things that are important to the safety/wellness of your child in school because I want them to have the best experiences of their lifetime in third grade. These are tools that can help your children be successful.

Make sure that you pay attention the Calendar page for events that will be occurring as I will be sending home permission slips with your son or daughter concerning those trips. Also, make sure that you are aware of our days off from school because we will be following under the county's calendar for those days. A link to that calendar can be found here ([]).

Something that I learned while I was in school is that a dictionary can be your best friend. Now, I understand that your child might not understand some of the things that could potentially read so I want them to be equipped with a dictionary just in case. If you do not have a dictionary in your home, feel free to use this link ([]). This resource is a free online dictionary that thousands of people use everyday to discover word meanings if they do not know what something means.

Something that I do not like at all is when a student is bullied in or outside of the school. We might not even see what could be going on but as their teacher, I promise you that I will do my absolute best to ensure their safety and I urge you all to do the same. The provided link ([]) shows you some of the signs to notice whether or not a student is being bullied. All of the teachers here will also do our best to make sure that every student feels safe and secure in our classrooms.

[|(http://www.wolframalpha.com/)] This is a really cool website that I discovered the other day for your child to use if they want. On here, they can search anything that they want to know about and they can even use this as a resource to solve problems. Yes, I am allowing them to use this if they want to use it to solve their math problems but do not let them fully rely on it. I want them to be able to use their brains in order to figure out the problems on their own.

Our school systems are under the authority of the U.S. Education Department. Anything that we do comes from them and the standards that we are held to for your student's learning. This website ([]) is their website where you can keep up with what they are doing for us and how our education system is moving forward.

If I manage to come across anymore resource for you to see, I will be sure to post them here. Have a wonderful day!
