Welcome to 3rd Grade!!

Dear Parents,
 
     My name is Mrs. Aishan Lu Yokoo, I am your child's 3rd grade teacher. This will be my 4th year at KEY teaching 3rd grade. I am so excited to start this new year with your wonderful child in my class! I missed teaching over the summer, but enjoyed my time off with my child whom has just begun Kindergarten. We had lots of fun time and took him camping for the first time. He had lots of fun, but I realized that I really enjoy our modern day luxuries, like a shower and a nice comfortable bed! 
     This first week will be comfortable with some light homework. Your child will be learning/getting used to our classroom rules and procedures. Please remind your child about appropriate behavior for learning in the classroom and playing outside. I will be passing out and posting the regular homework schedule and classroom supplies. Please note, if your child has brought in supplies you do not need to purchase more this week. Some supplies will need to be replenished throughout the year(pencils and dry erase markers seem to run out fast). 
     We want a smooth, enjoyable, and safe year. There will be some projects to work on with presentations, reading comprehension and writing explanations will be a big focus. Being able to articulate one's thoughts to answer questions after reading a non-fiction story is important to your child's success in 3rd grade and on. In math it is crucial that your child has the basic foundations like adding and subtracting because we will be working on multiplication, fractions, area, perimeter, and word problems involving all of these topics. 
Please feel free to swing by if you have any questions or text me at 510-435-0327 (I will do my best to get back to you asap).
 
Sincerely,
 
Mrs. Aishan
