Name: S. MartinGrade: 3rdSubject:Classroom: 302Phone Ext:Email: smartin@bhm.k12.al.usWelcome Parents and Students to third grade!Let's dedicate ourselves to a successful 2017-2018 year.
Dear Parent:
We have so much to learn in Reading, Math, Science, Social Studies, and technology. Third grade is a crucial grade in propelling your child further along the educational path. Your child is making that transition to no longer being a “baby.” More independence will be needed. More responsibility will be required. More concrete learning and thought processes will be developed. I look forward to working with you to provide the most rewarding learning experience for your child. My expectations are high, yet I know your child can rise to the challenge. Finally, third grade is the first testing grade. Your child will be assessed on the retention of knowledge and overall progress throughout the year based on strategies learned, not memorization. It is so very important for teacher, student, and parent to work as a team to help your child reach his/her highest potential.
