Hello 3rd Grade Parents, Guardians, and Family,
1. Lessons this week will be VERY flexible. We will be conducting MAP testing this week for:
1. Reading
2. Math
3. Language Arts
4. Science
These assessments are VERY important for me to stress specific classroom content directed toward the development and learning of your kids.
PLEASE encourage your kids to do the best they can on these assessments and to NOT take them lightly. Their results help me be a better teacher for your kids.
Thank you,
Mr. Mottram
5. PLEASE see the message below "PLANNING AHEAD." If you have not already done so, please sign up for Parent / Teacher conferences. You can find the link on the school website/third grade.
PLANNING AHEAD:
Parent Teacher conferences will be on October 11th. These are mandatory conferences. I will be talking with you about your child's learning and development. Please bring with you any questions or concerns you might have to ensure that I am addressing everything.
You can access the "Sign-Up Genius" from this website. I will have 15 minute slots for you to sign up. I will be here on the 11th from 7:15am - 4:00pm. If none of these times work for you, PLEASE do not hesitate to contact me as we get closer to Oct 11th. I will do everything I can to make myself available to you.
The initial Parent/Teacher conference is the most important conference of the school year. This conference is often an excellent opportunity to be proactive with your childs education and have an early understanding for where they are at academically, behaviorally, and socially.
Things you should expect:
1. Reading assessment results
2. Classroom behavior discussion
3. Student grades with direct inputs/assessments about performance/abilities/strengths/opportunities for improvements.
God Bless you all,
Mr. Mottram (John)
