Hello Third Grader!
My name is Mrs. Painter and I am excited to be your 3rd grade Homeroom, English Language Arts and Social Studies teacher this school year. You are going to enjoy being a THIRD GRADER!

I am teaming this school year with Mrs. Carroll. She is right across the hall. She will be your Math and Science teacher.
What are you looking forward to learning this year?
