1. Welcome to
Open House
Mrs. Brumback
Third Grade

2. About Me:
I have been teaching third grade at Driswood since it opened.
Before teaching at Driswood I taught first grade at Page Jackson for seven years.
I am originally from Marcy, NY and I received my Bachelors Degree from Shepherd College.
I recently was married so my name has changed 

3. Rewards/Incentives:
We have the Outstanding Owls that students will be able to earn and spend every 9 weeks at the Owl Store.
I will also give students money to use to buy items. They will record earnings in a log. They will receive money for good behavior, class jobs, and completing homework on time.

4. Behavior/Rules:
I expect students to follow the classroom rules which we will discuss and create on the first day of school.
We will move clips if students do not follow the rules.
I will send notes home in the agenda if we have problems with following the rules.
We also have the Red Reminders for extreme behavior problems.
I expect students to treat everyone the way they want to be treated.

5. Some 3rd Grade Goals: 3rd grade requires work and focus.
I expect your child to always try their best.
Some goals for this year are:
