Welcome to 3B

Dear Third Grade Parents,

I am so thrilled to be working with your student this year! Thank you for trusting your scholar's education to this great school and to us. I can’t wait to meet your students and get started. We have very high expectations for your scholar and know that they will rise to the occasion. Above all we will be learning about the virtues and growing as great-hearted individuals!

I graduated from University of Dallas with a degree in Elementary Education and have experience teaching in second through fourth grade. Last year I spent as an apprentice teacher in fourth grade at Archway Glendale. As well as knowing where we need to go in third grade I am familiar with where your student is coming from and will be going in the future.

Mrs. Jennifer Houlihan has a degree in music from Belmont University in Nashville Tennessee and has spent the last 12 years homeschooling her children. She loves the wonder of discovery that comes when children are excited about learning and her invaluable background as a parent will bring perspective to our teaching.

Thank you again for allowing your students to spend the days ahead in my classroom, it means the world to me. Please know that I am just an email away if there is anything that I can do for you.

Please consider buying your student a set of multiplication and division flashcards. These will stay in their backpack to be used at school and home. Math fluency is a critical part of being a successful math scholar.
