Welcome to Third Grade
The Bellevue Elementary Third
Grade teachers, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Smith, strive to help each
student reach his or her potential - academically, socially, and
emotionally. Our goal is to nurture and guide each child
toward becoming a life-long learner, as well as a happy, caring
and responsible citizen of our country. Third Grade
curriculum engages students in Reading, Writing, Mathematics,
Social Studies, Science, Health, and
 Character
Ed. In addition, our students receive classes in Physical
Education, Music, Art, and Technology. Computer training
and Library skills are also offered once a week.
We believe active participation and involvement on the part of
students, teachers, and parents are key to each student's
success. As classroom teachers, we actively work with the
entire school team to meet each child's unique needs. Parents,
you are essential elements in your child's education and the biggest and
best investments you can make in their future! Students
need to come every day ready and willing to learn.
Each year our third graders participate in community service in
order to build character and come to an appreciation of all
members within the community. Involving children in these
kinds of activities not only gives them a greater sense of
worth, but enriches our society as a whole, and creates well
rounded citizens.
Over the years, we have found third grade to be a challenging
transitional year for many students. Not only is the
curriculum full of new skills and concepts, but students are
expected to become more independent in completing work as well
as becoming more responsible for their own learning. We
foster this by creating a climate where all are nurtured,
accepted, supported, and challenged.
Bellevue Elementary School truly is a thoughtful and caring
place,
and we have the good
fortune to have the opportunity to work here. |
