Parent+Information



Welcome to Ms. Moritz's third grade classroom. I hope that you have gotten a little more familiar with our website, and are learning how to navigate it. I am really looking forward to working with your children this year. We have a lot to cover this year, and I would like to refrain from boring you with a letter you have seen in past years, but there are a few things that I need to cover before we begin. If ever you have questions, or would like to know what is going on in our class feel free to e-mail me, or I will be posting on the website regularly. The focus of this website right now is on our weather unit. We will be learning a lot of interesting new things about weather. You can access our assignments and other important class information on this website. Now I would like to talk about some of my expectations in the classroom, and at home.
 * Hello Parents!!! **

Please expect about a half hour of homework each night. The children have a lot to learn, and homework is an important tool for helping them to learn the content, and practice the concepts that we will be learning in class. Homework will include assignments either for just at home, or a continuation of work we have been working on in class. I would also like to stress the importance of reading for your children. Reading is extremely important, as it helps them to learn new things not in the curriculum and new vocabulary. I would like for you to encourage your children to read regularly. Also you should know that the children will have spelling tests each week. They will receive the words on Monday, and tests will be on Fridays.
 * Homework **

Please understand that attendance is extremely important for your children to be successful. If your child is absent I will make sure to get you the work that they have missed, and it is important for them to make this up so that way they are not falling behind. You can also access the homework from here on the classroom wiki.
