The Giving Tree (Read Aloud)

Character and showing GRIT

Today we talked about our character and some of the things that we want to work on at school (learning goals for the year).  We also talked about how learning is hard work but that we grow as learners when we face challenges and struggles.  We watched a short video (link below) about GRIT!  Students were able to make a lot of connections with the video!

Welcome Back!!!

Welcome to Grade 3D!!!

 I am so excited to begin a new school year and I look forward to meeting all of our new grade 3 students on Tuesday September 4th!

On the first day of school, the students will be getting to know each other, myself and their new learning environment.

The focus of our first week of school will be on establishing routines, developing strategies that will help enhance our learning environment and classroom culture as well as getting to know each other a little better.Please keep an eye out on the first day of school for our Classroom Newsletter, verification form, technology agreement, school calendar and concussion protocol, etc.  A lot of important information will be going home on the first day of school!

Student Agendas will also be coming home on the first day of school.  Please look through the agenda for more detailed information regarding school policies and procedures.  The Agenda will be an important communication tool throughout the school year.

I hope to meet many of you on the first day of school and to those that I don't get a chance to speak to, I will be making a phone call home to introduce myself in the next week or two.

I look forward to working with you this year to ensure your child has a successful school year.

End of the Year!

I just wanted to say a great big thank you to all of the students and families in Grade 3D this school year!  What a fantastic year it was.  All of the children progressed and shined brightly this year.  I am so proud of all of you and have the utmost confidence that you are ready for your new learning adventures in Grade 4.  

I want to take a moment to express my gratitude to all of the parents and families that were so supportive this year.  It really takes a village and this year was a successful school year because of the wonderful teamwork between home and school. 


As amazing as this school year was, I am sure you are all ready for a little bit of sunshine and Summer fun.  

I look forward to seeing you all grow, learn and take on some leadership roles as you enter the junior grades.  

Be sure to come visit me in the Blue Pod!!!

I will miss you all and look forward to seeing you all back in September.

I am so proud of all of you!

Your Partner in Education,

Mrs. Caluori
