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!
