Welcome to Ms. Strong's 2016-2017 Class!

Hello and Welcome!


If you are reading this, you found Ms. Strong's class blog! 

Before you read anything else, go ahead and bookmark or save this page on your computer, smart phone, or whatever device you typically use! This is my main form of communication to parents, so you'll want to remember this page! I have found that using a blog is much more convenient for both myself and parents so I am not constantly filling up your email inboxes! 

However, if you are someone who likes email, or you would like to be notified via email when something new is posted on the blog, go ahead and scroll down to the bottom of the page. There you enter your email address in the "Follow by Email" box. If you do this, you will receive an email any time I post something new on the blog! Sometimes this is a nice reminder to have.

Another way that I communicate with parents is via Remind. This is a messaging system that you can receive on your phone like a text message, or via email if you prefer. Phone numbers will NOT be shared, so it is safe and private. I use this for shorter messages or extra reminders such as "Don't forget: Field trip tomorrow! Pack a lunch!" and things such as that. (They will not be as wordy as my blog posts, don't worry.)

Sign up for Remind NOW at this link, or download the FREE app on your phone. If you do not have a smart phone or prefer text messages, you can sign up by texting this message: @strong3g to this number: 81010

Lastly, I do also have a class Twitter account where I post things like pictures of projects or activities going on in the classroom or fun activities happening at school. If you'd like to check out our tweets, follow us @ms_strong or click the link on the top of this page to the right!

Please also check out my Pinebrook Webpage. Here you can find more information about me, study guides, and our 3rd grade page with SOL review and games.

Tomorrow - August 24th - is our open house! 
Be sure to stop by Room 29 (located in the front hallway, close to the Counselors' offices) to see your new room, meet me, and unpack some of those school supplies! 
I can't wait to finally meet you all! 

I hope you all enjoy the remaining days of summer. I'm looking forward to a great year in 3rd grade! 

Smiles,
Ms. Strong :)
