Third Grade

Welcome to Third Grade!

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Welcome to Third Grade! I am delighted to have your child in my class this year. I am looking forward to a very successful year and know you are, too.

Third grade is the year that students move from learning to read to reading to learn. When your children enter into 3rd grade, the level of work and expectations becomes much more challenging than what they experienced in previous grades. They become more independent and are able to complete the majority of their work on their own.

As a parent, you can help lessen the increased stress of performing well at school by offering lots of encouragement. Praise the effort they put into learning a new concept, memorizing facts, or spending extra time to do an assignment well. If your child faces difficulties, help them see that these moments are part of the learning process.

Any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to send me an email. I want to offer my support to you as parents to the best of my ability.

Thank you for your commitment to your child’s education and success. I look forward to getting to know your child this year. May God bless you all and keep you safe.

Sincerely,

Ms. Mata
