Welcome to Third Grade!
The third grade team strives to provide engaging and effective instruction to prepare your child to experience success and confidence as they work towards independence and autonomy. Students in third grade focus on reading comprehension to deepen understanding of literary and informational text. Additionally, students will master multiplication facts and strengthen their problem solving strategies. Third grade students will enjoy learning about their continent and surrounding regions and participate in hands on science activities that require inquiry skills and teamwork.
Our school day begins at 8:35 a.m. Please have your child at school on time so that they do not miss any instructional time. Students will be held in the 3rd grade hallway and teachers will pick them up there.
Attendance
Your child’s progress, both academically and socially, is greatly influenced by your child’s attendance to school on a regular basis as well as punctuality. If for any reason your child will be absent please call the office at 407 845-0665 or send a note to school the following day explaining why your child was absent.
Acceptable Absences Are:
Classroom Behavior
This year Millennia Gardens will be having a school wide behavior plan. Students will use our Walla Color system to track their behavior throughout the school day. All students start their day on green and then move up or down the color chart depending on their behavior.
Purple- Excellent/Perfect Day!
Blue-Great Day!
Green- Ready to Learn/Good Day
Yellow- Caution/Warning
Orange- Reflection Time/Time Out
Red- Parent Contact/Loss of Privileges
Please check your child’s agenda each night to see what Walla color they ended up on for the day.
If your child is a car rider you must have a Millennia Gardens hang tag in your car. If you do not have this, your child may not be put in the car.
If your child will be leaving early or will not be going home according to their normal routine, a written note must be provided giving clear instructions on how and when the child is going home.
Folders and Planners
On the first day of school your child will receive a take-home folder and a planner. The take-home folder and the planner should be reviewed every night. Any important documents will be sent home in the take-home folder.
Lunch
Lunch is free for all students. You have the option of sending a packed lunch for your child if you wish.
