Welcome to Third Grade

Dear Parents,

We would like to welcome you and your child to the Third Grade at London Towne Elementary School for the 2011-2012 school year. We are looking forward to working with you to ensure that your student has a successful year as he or she takes on many new challenges.

This school year will be full of new experiences for your student. We will be studying the ancient civilizations of China, Greece, Egypt, and Rome. In Math, we will be learning to multiply and divide. We will also be working with fractions and decimals, as well as using higher level thinking skills to solve more complex math problems. Throughout the year students will be exposed to many different types of literature. They will continue to develop into independent readers and writers. Children will develop their own writing style by adding details, interesting vocabulary, and voice to their pieces of writing. Children will continue to edit their writing for correct spelling, grammar and word choice as part of the writing process.

The Third Grade teachers are looking forward to meeting you and your student. We are confident that your student will reach all the goals that are essential for success in Third Grade. We expect this year to be a successful one. Your support and input are needed for your student’s development. We are looking forward to making this year a rewarding one for all of us.

Thank You!

Third Grade Team
