Class Rules
Our class rule comes down to Respect.
Respect the Teacher
Respect your Classmates
Respect Yourself
This means we are silent in the halls, we listen and obey
instruction, we raise our hands in class, keep hands and feet to
ourselves.

We also utilize the Honorable Character System to help us
remember what is expected. Each child will have the
opportunity to have this character marked on their chart. They
will be allowed to earn points towards privileges such as taking
their shoes off in class, an extra recess time, or prizes.
If there is a repeated infraction of rules, procedures or honorable
character, I will notify a parent to discuss this at home. An
apology note or essay about the behavior will also be expected.

I welcome your questions, concerns, and requests. The
best way to reach me is at susan.daniel@graceacademy-
nt.org I will return your email promptly. If you need to
schedule a conference before or between our regular
conferences, please email me with this information.

Homework will be assigned on Friday and due the
following Friday. Weekly homework will include:
Spelling
Reading (20 minutes Daily)
Bible Memory
Math Facts

Additional homework may be sent home as needed. This
may be work that is not completed in class, projects, book
reports, poetry memorization, reviews or document
memorization.



A quiz will be given every week over math facts. We will
be quizzing addition and subtraction facts through
October. In November, we will add multiplication and
division quizzes.
Celebrations (tests) will vary; however I will let you and
your child know in advance when a celebration is
approaching.

Grades will be as follows:
90-100 A
80-89 B
70-79 C
Anything below 70 is failing.

I believe third grade is an important grade for mastery and
preparation for the upper grades. We will work together to
be sure every student will master important skills in
reading, math, writing and problem solving. I am always
here to help and encourage!


Parents are welcome to volunteer during parties and
special events. If you are planning to eat lunch with your
child our lunch time is 10:55-11:25. You may bring food
for you and your child only.

Birthdays
We love to celebrate your childs special day! If you wish
to bring cupcakes or treats, please do so during lunch
10:55-11:25. We may sing Happy Birthday during class
and enjoy treats at our table at lunch.
