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! We are going to read, write, problem solve and discover. You are going to learn a lot this year.  I know you’re ready! I like to make school interesting and fun for you.

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?
