Mrs. Allman
Third Grade - China Grove Elementary
2011 - 2012
We've been working hard on trying to be good listeners and on asking questions when we don't understand something. We are also working on being responsible third graders. Communication is key in order to be successful, so please stay up to date with what is going on at school through your child's agenda and Tuesday Folder. Homework will be completed on a nightly basis. Please check over your child's work and discuss what they have learned each day at school. Don't forget to sign their agenda each night. Look for a daily stamp as a sign of good behavior. I am looking forward to a wonderful third grade year. Please come by and have lunch with us anytime at 11:15.
