Who is Star Bear?

Star Bear is our very special classroom bear. One week out of the school 
year,
Star Bear will come home with your child along with his journal so that your
child may spend time with him and write down their adventures.

What forms of parent-teacher communication are available?

Please check your child's RED folder each night for daily information or 
check this website (especially Announcements and Calendar) for more
information. You may jot a note in the folder or call if needed or email me
to get in touch. I will make every effort to respond in a timely manner.

How is homework handled in Third Grade?

Each week's homework packet will come home on Monday and be due back on
Friday. Please be sure to work with your child to complete the work
throughout the week (not all on the last night). The homework is usually a
review of the past week's lessons. We may have occasionally have mini-
projects that require parental assistance. There is a daily requirement for
reading that your child will log and return
each Friday. Spelling words are generally assigned on Monday and tested on
Friday.

How is discipline handled?

Carroll Lutheran uses the CHRIST program to help students remember to conduct
themselves as Christians (outlined in your handbook). I use a variety of
individual, team, and class incentives to help all children stay focused and
be successful each day.

What is allowed for Birthday celebrations?

We encourage your child to celebrate their special day with their class. You
may bring in a special snack for the morning snack time (e.g., muffins,
cupcakes,cookies, fruit snack, popsicles)-- no whole cakes please. Your
family may choose to celebrate by donating a special book to the CLS
Library; the child or parent may read the book to our class.

How should we handle birthday invitations at school?

Birthday invitations should only be distributed in school if the entire class
is invited to the party. The parent must put the invitations into the child's
office folder in the office.
