3rd Grade!
Welcome to Third Grade!
Hi Third Grade Families,
Welcome to the 2024-2025 School year! This is my 14th year here at St. Charles and I am looking forward to another excellent year! I am originally from New York and moved here in 2010 after finishing my Master's Degree in New York in Special Education. I have my undergraduate degree in Childhood Education. I look forward to meeting everyone and having a wonderful school year!
Mrs. Hurtado
I hope everyone had a great weekend. Sorry this is a day late, I was out on Monday due to a stomach bug this weekend! Please remember that parent teacher conferences are this Thursday and Friday via zoom. I will
send the zoom link out today. We have a noon dismissal on both days. Report cards and STAR results
will go home this Wednesday so we can discuss them at conferences.
This Friday we will have our weekly spelling test on Thanksgiving words, and a Science test on chapter 3. There will be no homework or tests next week. I won't be sending a newsletter next week either.
Please continue working on the upcoming book report which is due Monday, Dec. 2nd.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving break and holiday!!
