Hello parents,
Man that week flew by! I want to say THANK YOU for all your hard work and flexibility as we navigate this new school normal. Your kiddos have been doing SO WONDERFUL and I am already so proud to be their teacher. It will still have bumps along the way, and I am already trying to think of ways to tweak it and make it better. But I know your kiddos will do amazing. They have done so well with their beginning of the year assessments. I tried to reiterate with them that they are end of the year 3rd grade tests, so they should not be discouraged by bad scores since we have not gone through 3rd grade yet. But I am very impressed with their scores so far. Way to go :) Again, I appreciate your flexibility. It will get better! You guys are doing so wonderful. Have a great weekend! Here is what we have going on next week- Weekly Curriculum In Language Arts we will describe characters in our stories and will explain how their actions contribute to the sequence of events. In Math we will use place value to add and subtract numbers. In Science we begin with topic 1: The Universe-Stars. In Writing we will learn how to describe story elements through narrative writing. In Social Studies we will be talking about getting information using Primary and Secondary Sources. We will also look at our oceans and continents. A Few Reminders and Dates to Remember Friday, September 4 th : 1 st Spelling test, Reading Log and Spelling homework due. Monday ,September 7 th : Labor Day, NO School

8/14/2020 0 Comments Welcome to 3rd Grade!Hello wonderful third grade families,
My name is Mrs. Holden, and I am so honored to be your child's 3rd grade teacher this year. With this year being as crazy as it is, we appreciate all your patience and flexibility as we get ready for this year. A lot of moving around had to be made between the classes, but I am confident we are going to have a great year together. We have decided to have Mrs. Mullins handle just Brick and Mortar kiddos and I will be handling all the virtual learning kiddos (with a handful of B&M kiddos in my room). We feel this will be the best way we can serve all our families in this very interesting time and I am so excited to make this a year for the books! As you have been informed, this year our open house will be virtual! So I will be sending out an informational video and PowerPoint going over everything you will need to know this year. I will also have a time slot available to you for you to jump onto a chat with me so I can help answer any questions you may have to the best of my ability. My time slot is Wednesday, August 19th from 11:00-12:00. If that time does not work for you, do not hesitate at all to reach out to me via email! Please know that this is going to be a year where we really are going to have to work together. But more importantly, it will be a year where we need to show grace and kindness. This is not something we ever expected to navigate, and I know everyone is doing the best they can to make it work. Here at Plato Academy we have high expectations for academics and behavior and we plan to uphold those. However I think one of the greatest things about Plato Academy is how we value connection and relationships with our families. So please know I will be here for you every step of the way and I will work with you during this very crazy time. I am very much looking forward to this year! I will keep information posted on my website so please check there or look for my weekly emails for updates. Looking forward to getting to know everyone and I will see you soon! I will be sending an email to just the kiddos soon :). All the best, Mrs. Holden |
