Welcome to our Third Grade Adventure!

My name is Heather Guereca.  I have been teaching in the San Bernardino Diocese since 2015 after volunteering in classrooms from preschool to junior high school for six years. I have taught in both third and fourth grades and love the spirit that they bring to class each day. I value my relationships with God and my family and want to share those values and respect with each of the students.

This year we will be focusing on building relationships, social interaction, multiplication, writing, and reading comprehension. I am looking forward to preparing students to make their First Holy Communion. It is such a blessing to be able to share these moments with all of you.  

I welcome questions and like to have open communication to work together for each student's success. Please feel free to contact me via Brightwheel.

God Bless,
Heather Guereca

 

First Week Of School Updates

1. Please make sure you are signed up on Brightwheel.  This and Gradelink will be my main communication sources.

2. I will be sending text books home to be covered on Tuesday(8/23).  They must be returned on Thursday (8/25).

3. I purchase Sparkeletts water for my classroom. This helps us reduce waste and saves space in our classroom. Students need to bring thier own refillable water bottles to school daily.  I don't have cups or back up water bottles.

4. With 18 students, that is 18 birthday parties which cut into our class time.  There is so much to learn in 3rd grade and we move quickly! Therefore, we will have monthly birthday parties on the last Friday of each month at 2:15 to celebrate that months birthdays.  I am looking for a "Birthday Party Chair" to help with organizing this. Please let me know as soon as possible if you are interested.  

So....Friday August 26th we will have our July and August birthday party. Please contact me if you would like to donate items. 

5. PE is on Tuesday and Thursday.  Students must wear a PE t-shirt and SAA bottoms.  PE bottoms must have the logo.

6. I am a stickler for dress code. Please make sure you review the dress code and help the students stay in compliance.  Shoes and socks should only be navy, black, or white. Not all 3 or any other color.
