Dear
Students and Families,
Welcome to third grade. My name is Ms. Chuk and I
will be your child’s 3rd grade teacher. I look forward to working with and getting to
know you and your child. We are
continuing with the Reading Street
reading program this year. I will be working hard to continue to develop and
strengthen your child’s reading skills.
Some students will “Walk to Read” during Small Group Reading time which
means some of them will go to other teachers to work on their reading skills. Our math program is called MyMath. Math homework usually reinforces the math
lesson of that day. In Science, we have
a lot of hands-on activities that your child will enjoy while learning valuable
science concepts and scientific methods.
Your child will also be doing lots of writing in this school year. We will be working very hard in room 205 this
year. Your support at home is very
important to your child’s success in school.
I greatly appreciate your help and support at home.
This support includes:
ü Making sure your child has excellent attendance and has an early bedtime. When your child is absent just one day they miss a
great deal of instruction. The 3rd
grade curriculum is rigorous and your child will be working hard in school each
day. Your child needs to be in school everyday and well rested to keep up with
all the daily lessons in each subject.
ü
Limiting the amount of television and video games played during the
school week. Saving these activities for Friday, Saturday,
and Sunday is a good way to reward daily reading and homework completion.
ü
Monitoring your child’s homework and daily home reading.
ü
Reminding them to
be Respectful, Responsible, and Kind.
ü Monitoring school supplies. Your child must come prepared to work; this
includes having pencils and their homework
folder everyday.
ü Practice speaking English as
much as possible.
This
support is crucial to your child’s success.
I look forward to working together with you to ensure that your child
has a successful and exciting school year.
I feel that it is important to have an open line of communication between home
and school. Please send me a note
with your child if you have any questions or concerns, or leave me a
message at school at 456-9367, or contact me through email at Thay.Chuk@ppsd.org. You can also
visit my blog at http://www.mstchuk.blogspot.com.
It is my hope that we can work as partners throughout the school year in order
to ensure an enriching and fun school year for your child.
Sincerely,
Thay Chuk, M. Ed.
