Greetings from your third grade Language Arts teacher! The purpose of
teaching Language Arts to your child is to instill in him/her an appreciation
for literature and provide him/her with the writing skills that are so
necessary in today’s society.
Read as much as you can this summer. Next year, you will be logging your
time and preparing fun book report projects. You will become so good at
using the 7 Keys to Comprehension. We’ll celebrate reading in many different
ways.
You will become a terrific writer as we focus on the 6 traits of writing.
We’ll compose some wonderful poetry as well, and notice beautiful language
whenever we can.
I am looking forward to a great school year!
