How can you help your child? Read together daily at the appropriate reading
level to build your child’s stamina! Talk with your child about their reading. Ask
them questions about what they have read. Go over class work that has been returned. You’ll know ahead of time when a test is
coming up – start studying then! Check the third grade team websites for
handouts, games, links, study guides and reviews.

in our year together, they
aren’t just kids on my class list… they become a part of
my heart.
