Dear Third Grade Students and Families,

Welcome to Third Grade! I am thrilled to start this new school year with you. My name is Bridget Convery, and I’ll be your child’s teacher this year. Third grade is such a wonderful and important time in a student’s life—full of growth, discovery, and adventure. I feel so lucky to be part of that journey with you!

This year, we will be diving into exciting topics in reading, writing, math, science, and social studies. We’ll build strong reading habits, tackle multiplication and division, explore the world around us, and become confident writers. Just as important, we’ll learn how to work together, solve problems, and become kind and respectful classmates.

In our classroom, I strive to create a safe, supportive, and encouraging environment where every student feels valued and inspired to do their best. I believe that strong communication between home and school is key to a successful year, and I look forward to partnering with you to support your child’s learning.

Here are a few things to know as we get ready for Friday, September 5, 2025:

• Our classroom number is: 212

• Suggested supplies to bring include: 2 marble composition notebooks (100 pages); 2 pocket-folders; 3 one-subject notebooks; dry-erase marker; glue stick; #2 Ticonderoga pencil; a pen (any color); a highlighter (any color); post-its *one of each of these items is fine to start with; however may need to replenish throughout the year and a soft pencil case: a pair of earbuds or headphones not compatible with apple; a pack of index cards .  *Donations of tissues are always greatly appreciated

• Please feel free to contact me at: bconvery@jacksonsd.org

I can’t wait to meet each of you and learn more about what makes you unique. Together, we’ll make this year a memorable and meaningful one!

Here’s to a fantastic year ahead!

Warmly,
Mrs. Convery
