Hello Third Grade Families!

Welcome to Third Grade!  I am so excited to be with you this year.  I will start by telling you a little bit about me.  This is my 18th year teaching in Saint Paul, most of which has been at Global Arts Plus.  My family is Brazilian, so I speak Portuguese as well as a little bit of Spanish.  I was a swimmer when I was younger, so I love to exercise and get outdoors whenever I can.  I have two kids; Maya is a Senior at Central High School, and Caetano is a 6th grader at Global Arts Plus.  My husband, Rubens, is also a teacher.  He teaches at Central High School.  I also love to travel, and one of my favorite things to do is to read books!

Third Grade is such a fun year.  Here are some highlights that you have to look forward to:  We study Government, Ancient Civilizations, The Solar System, several writing units, author studies, as well as a wide variety of math such as multiplication, division, and geometry.  We will do this all while having fun.  I CANNOT WAIT to get to know you better through out this year.
