Dear Families,

Hi! I would like to welcome you and your child to Third Grade! I am excited to have an opportunity to be an important part of your child’s education.

Third grade is an important step in your child’s education. It consists of many new tasks and skills for your child. They are required to think more critically and work more independently. My goal is to guide and instruct your child so that he/she will be fully prepared for fourth grade. In order to accomplish this, teamwork is critical. My role as teacher for your child is to provide daily instruction, meaningful class work and homework assignments, and to provide a stimulating environment and opportunities for success.

To ensure that the opening of school goes smoothly, we would like to bring your attention to activities and procedures that are important to the third grade level.

All toys are to stay AT HOME unless specifically requested by teachers. Any materials (including clothing) should be clearly marked with your child's name.

Organization and Homework

To assist your child in developing good organizational skills, the following routines are necessary: 1. Review and sign all homework and planner nightly.

2. Work is to be completed in pencil only unless otherwise stated.

3. Homework is written, by your child daily, in their agenda. Check off work completed and initial planner nightly.

4. Homework is an opportunity to practice material learned in the classroom to the level of mastery. In order for us to maintain daily contact, we ask that you check your child's homework daily for accuracy and understanding. Do not sign homework or planner unless you have checked over homework and are sure it has been completed.

5. Take Home Folder: Your child will be bringing home a folder every night. The homework folder should be cleaned out nightly and only papers that need to be returned to school should be left in the folder.

6. I will try to make

    I disagree with Leon Botstein's essay "Let Teenagers Try Adulthood". Botstein argues that teenagers have matured much more quickly over the past few years. Therefore, he believes high school be abolished and a child's education should begin earlier in order for students to graduate around the age of sixteen rather than eighteen. High school is intended for students of a certain maturity level. But now, students are exceeding that level rapidly. Botstein sees high school as a place full of superficial, adolescent teenagers that care more about appearances, popularity, cliques and sports than education. Because they have reached a high maturity level at such a young age already, there are many students that are wasting their junior and senior years away in high school rather than starting college. I disagree with Botstein however. High school is a transition period for students to learn how to take on more responsibilities. It is the time for teenagers to become more social and independent. While I do agree with Botstein on his point of maturity levels growing faster, I don't agree that students should be graduating earlier than they currently are. Not all students are capable of the same things. Most high school students are not prepared to enter into adulthood just yet. They still need someone to guide them along a path until they've graduated. Age restrictions are applied to the youth community for a reason. The majority of teenagers are not ready to handle the responsibilities that come their way. The legal age for drinking is 21 because of safety concerns as well as the responsibility that comes with the consumption of alcohol. Fortunately for Texas, teenagers are able to obtain their drivers license at the age of sixteen, but other states, like California, have citizens wait until they are eighteen to obtain their license with the same privileges as a sixteen year old from Texas. Responsibilities are tough to handle, even for an adult. So why have the same…

    Visits to teachers should be made by making an appointment with the teacher at a convenient before or after­school hour. Parents are asked not to meet with a teacher before or after class unless a conference has been scheduled in advance. Just as we expect our students to act respectfully toward each other, as adults we will model this characteristic by treating each other with respect. LOST AND FOUND Students should put their names on their personal belongings. Lost items will be turned into the front office and may be claimed in the front office.…

This helps the student in understanding the concepts of the chapter taught.…

    What can teachers do to prevent students from having too much homework? What type of planning is required? Are there implications for staff planning time? The first step teachers can take to not giving students too much homework is making sure that the homework is a review of earlier lessons. “Homework gives students a chance to practice skills learned in one setting at one time(school) in another setting at a different time(home) (Slavin pg.201). The second step teachers can take is too make homework interesting and worthwhile. Even though homework can help students little bit, it can still be harmful to the students. Stress can cause students to lose control under pressure. Needless to say, homework can cause students to lose interest in learning and may encourage students to cheat or drop out of school early. The type of planning required for this is your students learning styles, knowing where the student is academically, finding ways to make homework fun and rewarding, and actively engaging the parents and other family and friends in the homework activities when possible. Yes, technology can contribute to meaningful learning students can learn various ways to present, research, and explore their various subjects. It is possible to have the phases of learning within one class setting, and this desirable because has a teacher looks around her room she will find various learning styles, and being able to approach students styles and needs in various ways helps the teachers be an intentional teacher with a diversifying…

    Finally, homework is very demanding on kids. “In most U.S schools, homework has become more demanding and time-consuming (scope magazine, pages 20-21, lines 33-35). Studies have shown that most kids feel very stressed about schoolwork and homework. There is a lot of pressure to do well in school. Some kids feel like “if they don’t get help from their parents, they will be at a competitive disadvantage with classmates who do.” (scope magazine, pages 20-21, lines 69-72).…

    Each week your child will bring home a Friday Folder containing graded work. Notices from the office, and a letter from the 7th and 8th grade team will be posted on Fridays on the GSB Intranet. The letter lets you know what has been happening in class in each subject, communicates general information, informs you about upcoming events and tests, and keeps you informed about incomplete/missing assignments and conduct referrals your child has received during the week. Please get your family into the routine of reviewing the Friday Folder early each weekend so that your child will have time to complete work if necessary. Also, please sign the signature form and return it to school in the empty Friday Folder every Monday morning. Students are encouraged to keep returned work at home in folders to help them study for exams at the end of each semester.…

    The person I interviewed is R. Wilkinson and she is an educator. She has been in education for 25 years. She started teaching at P.S 268 in Brooklyn and now P.S 52 in Queens. Mrs. Wilkinson was a para-professional and then merge into the education field as a certified teacher. She currently teaches a 2nd grade ICT class. She prefers 2nd grade because it is a grade she’s more familiar with and she knows the curriculum like the back of her hand. She also taught 4th grade to which she also enjoyed but, there is a very big difference. 4th grade is a testing grade and can be very strenuous she says. Mrs. Wilkinson has always dealt with children as far as having nieces and nephews and being very hands on with their upbringing. She has worked…

    In middle school you get more homework and it is tougher so it is important to manage your time. Whether it is after school or at home, you need to designate time aside to do homework. Although it seems so simple you may be resilient to the idea when it interferes with your social life. If you have folders, keep your work very tidy and organized in those folders so you can find the things you have to turn in quickly. Also, another benefit of having folders or binders is that if a teacher ever marks an assignment as late or puts in the wrong grade you have proof of the assignment’s date and the grade…
