Snacks
We are a nut free room due to allergies. Please only send you child with a snack that is on the approved snack list.
birthdays/ snack
We still like to celebrate birthdays in 3rd grade. Please refer to our new policy of suggestions when bringing in items for birthdays, NO FOOD items are allowed. We have 19 students in our class. Students who have summer birthdays can celebrate on their “half b-day.”
If your child wants to pass out birthday party/ event invitations they are to be passed out to all boys only, all girls only, or everyone in the class. If not everyone will be invited then invitations CANNOT be passed out in class.
Your child may also choose how we will dress in honor of their special day. We can all wear their favorite color, have a wacky or fancy day, or have a theme day where we wear pajamas, sports shirts, hat day, buddy day, etc. – It will be the birthday person’s choice. Look for upcoming birthday dress-up days in your child’s Student Planner!!

monthly reading logs
There will be a monthly reading log. Students are required to read 300 minutes per month. If they reach 600 minutes they receive a popsicle and a free Pizza Hut personal pan pizza coupon as a reward.
Star student
Every week a child will have the opportunity to be the “Star Student.” Please assist your child in filling out the information sheet/poster that will be sent home the week they are chosen. Also, please send some pictures of your child and family that s/he wishes to share with the class.
Behavior Chart
|
The classroom management plan we will be using is a positive reward system involving a behavior chart. The students will get the opportunity to clip up or down depending on the daily behaviors. Every time a child clips up they will also receive a ticket from the Make Everyone Shine school-wide positive behavior management system. Where your child ends up at the end of the day will be recorded and sent home to be signed and returned on a monthly bases. For every five times they end up on “Super Student” they can pick a prize from my treasure chest.

Marble jar
We also have a marble jar. Everyday we start with 5 marbles. Based off whole group behavior they can loose marbles throughout the day. When our marble jar is filled for daily behavior, this results in a party of some sort (movie, extra recess, game day, etc.) Please let me know if you have reservations about having your child watch PG movies as we go through the year.
