Mrs. Canter's Class Welcome to Mrs. Canter's Class!

Dear Parents and Students,

Welcome to Third Grade! I am looking forward to a year of growing and learning with your child. I hope to encourage each child not only to learn but enjoy the process of learning. I strive to make my classroom a relaxed and creative environment in which to learn. I believe that every child has the right to a quality education. Third grade students are a delight to teach. It is a big growth year physically and emotionally, as well as educationally.

This year you will have two teachers! Mrs. Jones and I will teach together. Mrs. Jones will teach Math, Science, and Social Studies. I will be teaching Reading, English, Spelling, and handwriting.

I love to teach the Reading/Language Arts block. I believe that team teaching allows me to focus more closely on a specific curriculum area. Reading is a vital skill for success in school as well as in life. One special activity that is a favorite of my students is Reader’s Theater. Studies show that the use of Readers theater builds fluency, which is the core of success in reading.

This year your child will have experiences with: cursive writing, multiplication and division, Junior Achievement, Flat Stanley, Junior League Play, Owl Pellet Dissection, The Egg to Chick Project, and many many more.

This should be a wonderful year for all of us. If you have any questions of special concerns please do not hesitate to contact me!
