WELCOME TO 3RD GRADE MS. LORI'S CLASS

   Welcome to 3rd grade at Yorkville School.  My name is Ms. Lori Allen. My classroom is a fun place to learn.  My students are involved in classroom activities such as games, reading centers, and using computers.  We like to use the internet to learn and explore ideas involving our TN standards.

   Please use our web page to find out classroom news and homework for the week.  I will also post important dates on the calendar.  There are also some good websites for your child to practice learning.  I have  listed ways you can help your child this year and supplies your child will need in the classroom.

    Our school is implementing an anti-bullying program this year. The program will train students on ways to avoid and report bullying within the school. Our school anti-bullying rules are:

1.  We will not bully others.

2.  We will try to help other students who are bullied.

3.  We will try to include students who are left out.

4.  If we know someone is being bullied, I will tell an adult at school and at home.
