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
Dear Third Grade Families,
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! We will be attending Mass today and not on Wednesday. Please be sure to send all library books back to be returned on Thursday. Our Field Trip to the Getty is planned for Thursday, February 20th. I will be selecting chaperones this week at random and will contact you if you were selected. Permission slips will be sent home next week.
Next week we will decorate bags for Valentine's Day. We will distribute all Valentines on the afternoon of Friday, February 14th. We have 31 students in class. Please be sure to send enough for everyone if you are sending them and there is no need to write individual names on each, just the sender's name is good!
This Friday we will have our weekly spelling test on commonly confused words, and a reading comprehension test.
Have a great week!
Mrs. Hurtado
