Hello!


We hope everyone had a wonderful and restful Winter Break with your loved ones and families.
It is so hard to believe we are now starting the second half of the school year!


We are starting all new units in 3rd grade in subjects. In Math, we are beginning our fractions unit. In Social Studies, we are learning about famous historical people such as Susan B. Anthony, Frederick Douglass, and Mary McLeod Bethune. In Writing, we are beginning our Narrative writing unit. In Reading, we are focusing on the sequencing of events such as beginning, middle, and end of a story.


Please continue to encourage your child to read each night and complete their math homework sheets. These are so important to help your child grow and succeed academically! :)

We are also learning our Multiplication Karate Facts. We are practicing really hard with these facts! We are starting a Persuasive Writing and also learning about the Ancient Greeks and the United States Government. We had so much fun at the GA Aquarium! What a great experience for our children! :)

October Update

Hello Everyone :)
It's hard to believe it's already October! We are off to a great start this year in 3rd grade so far. We have been learning about science habitats, multiplication, division, and different reading strategies to use during reading. In writing, we have learned how to write a paragraph and now we are writing an informational writing piece. Just a reminder: Please remind your students about their behavior at school. We expect all our students to follow the school rules and classroom rules at Sugar Hill. Be ready. Be respectful. Be responsible. Please remind students of these rules and expectations again. They are very important to enable us to have an excellent school year that is full of well-behaved fun and learning.
Important dates coming up:
October 20: Curriculum Night, 6-8 PM
October 26: Georgia Aquarium Field Trip in Atlanta. More information to come!


Thank you for sharing your children with us. We enjoy teaching them each and everyday.
3rd grade ROCKS!
