Welcome third Grade!
MRS. ALLEN
Welcome to Third Grade!
I am very excited to be teaching third grade here at Hornung Elementary. Third grade is one of the MOST important years of your child's education. It is the year that students move from learning to read- to reading to learn. This year in Reader's Workshop we will read many types of books and focusing on narrative, mystery, realistic fiction, non-fiction texts as well as biographies. During Writer's Workshop students will be woking on personal narratives and essays, realistic fiction, and even writing their own nonfiction piece! We will be using EveryDay Math with an updated version, and many fun experiments and activities to do in Science and Social Studies.
As the world moves to 21st Century learning, I believe we should be using technology to help facilitate learning as much as possible. I have earned my Master's Degree in Technology Education and learning many engaging ways to utilize technology in the classroom. Our third-grade students have access to a full computer lab, Chrome-books and iPads to help engage the learning process. We will be partnering up with Mrs. Giannandrea's class too! I often "Tweet" fun and engaging activities and lessons we are learning on a daily basis. This gives parents a chance to get a glimpse into our wonderful day of learning.
A little bit about me: I just got married, so you might have remembered me as Miss Massard, but now I am Mrs. Allen! I live in Ann Arbor, Michigan and enjoying spending time with my family and friends. To all my former students, please come by to say hi from time to time! To my new students- I am excited to meet you and have a fun-filled year!
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
