Welcome to our Grade 3 class! 

We have a tremendously exciting–and busy-year ahead.

          I am very very happy to let you know that the opportunity to teach your child is a privilege and a responsibility I take very seriously. I will do my very best to motivate, comfort and appreciate your child and all the gifts he or she will bring to our classroom. 

        Let me tell you a little secret. I will teach them to the best of my abilities but I will need your help. Whether it’s ensuring your child has completed homework assignments, helping him or her study for test, or simply asking your child, “What surprised or excited you in the classroom today?”, your encouragement and interest will definitely make a huge difference.

          I will keep you informed of the work your child will be doing, as well as any special events going on at our school and in our classroom. With your help and active interest, we will have a wonderful and productive year! 

Reminder: 

Please check, read and sign your child's agenda everyday.

I am so looking forward to a wonderful year ahead. 

Mrs. Francisco


 *NOTE: Let me add a few pictures of the activities that we did in the first few days of school. 




Thank you!

April I hope everyone had a wonderful spring break and some warmer weather and sunshine are in store for us this month.    In ELA, we continue to practice our skills through our weekly spelling program, phonics and journal activities.   We will be writing stories and doing some creative writing activities throughout the month of April.    In Math, we are continuing to practice our multiplication facts and strategies.   We are still practicing our 3-digit addition with regrouping and 3-digit subtraction with borrowing as well.   We will start learning division after spring break.   In Science, we are well into our new unit on Structures and Materials.   The students are really enjoying this unit so far and they will get the chance to build some bridges and test their strength later this month.   In Social Studies, we have been discussing Human Rights and learning about different organizations around the world that help children ...
