Welcome to Grade 3
Welcome Parents
Welcome to my weekly blog about the Grade 3 class. On this page I will be giving information about what is happening in class, as well as posting some assignments that you can print off at home (paper copies will be provided to all students; however, they sometimes go missing before making it home).
Home Support
Every week students will be given a list of spelling words, a Bible Memory Verse (BMV), and will be expected to read for 20 min daily as part of their home reading. Any assignments that are not completed in class will also be brought home to complete. We appreciate and need the support of parents to reinforce learning in the classroom by assisting students at home with these weekly tasks to develop good study and learning habits.
Tests
There will be weekly spelling tests as well as occasional tests in other subjects. All tests will be sent home to be signed by parents, corrected and then returned to school. This is one of the ways I will keep you updated on each students academic performance.
Contact me
If you ever have any questions during the school year please feel free to contact me at the school. Here are several ways to communicate with me.
- write a message for me in the student planner
- email me, jmayer@kingschristianschool.com I check email several times during the day.
- phone the office and leave a message. I will return the call after school is over when time allows. Please call the office if you need to schedule time before or after school to talk with me one on one.
Heathy Classroom Notes
- Please make sure to bring a water bottle to class, we have a classroom fountain but it is not filtered water and water bottles can easily be refilled using the upstairs refill station that is filtered.
- Students may bring in their own ear buds or headphones for the use of computers in class. There is a school set available for use; however, the school set is used by multiple students from different grades and is not easily sanitized.
- Please do not bring in any toys or stuffed animals to class.
- Please consider having a sweater/jacket and hat available to leave at school, as we will be spending more time learning outside (especially during nice weather).
Thank you for taking the time to read this blog. Please send me a quick email using your child’s name as the subject so I can communicate with you in this way.
Visit the Classroom before School begins
If there are any students that would like to come and visit the classroom before school begins to help with first day jitters please contact me and we can arrange for you to come in to meet me and tour the classroom.

This Week
Welcome to the weekly Grade 3 blog. Each week I will be giving a brief summary of what students will be learning and working on, as well information on events and activities for that week.
Bible memory Verse - Luke 2:10-11
10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy. It is for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ, the Lord. 
We'll have our final Math test before the break. Topics include number words, representing numbers in different ways, ordinal numbers and fractions. We will finish our review and have the test on Tuesday. After that our Math will be Christmas themed as we review adding and subtracting for the New Year.

In writing this week we will begin working on our Christmas themed writing in the form of a fun Christmas Newspaper. Students will create newspaper style writing about famous Christmas themed events (Fictional)
