Welcome to 3rd Grade!

Welcome to

Mrs. Parrish's

Webpage

As you know, the last few months have seen unprecedented budget cuts to federal, state, and local funding for education.  Because of this, schools are finding it very hard to get all the supplies they need.  Here are some things you can help provide to our classroom so we can continue to learn!

ream of copy paper (white or pastel color)

gift certificates for Staples or Office Depot for ink cartridges for printer

thinking games (Boggle, BrainQuest cards, etc.)

Kleenex

Hand Sanitizer

individually wrapped candy for rewards

bookmarks, erasers, and pencils for rewards

I hope you will enjoy everything you see on my webpage and that you will find it useful. Please remember that you may e-mail me by clicking on the link at the top of the page.

About Your Teacher:

I am 43 years old and this will be my 23rd year of teaching. I have always taught at Faith in either 3rd or 4th grades. I enjoy watching students learn and grow daily. I am very active with Locke Volunteer Fire Department as a firefighter and Emergency Medical Technician.

These are our newest trucks.  These trucks are called brush trucks.  We use these trucks to put out fires that are in tall grasses or woods.  Both of the trucks have a water tank in the bed with a roll of small hose called "forestry hose".

 At any time you can see what your child will be learning this year by looking at the
Third Grade Brochure.
