Dear 3rd Grade families,
I am Angela Fye. I am so excited to have the opportunity to get to know your children throughout the 2016-2017 school year. I absolutely love the Classical Curriculum and can’t wait to see the program progress. I have been enthusiastically getting ready for the upcoming school year! I was fortunate to be able to attend a Classical Conference this summer with quite a few staff members in Michigan and cannot wait to share the knowledge and strategies with my class!!
I grew up in Little Chute, starting my Catholic education at St. John Grade School. I attended Xavier High school and continued my education at St. Norbert College. I taught 5th grade for 2 years at St. Mary’s in Greenville and 1 year of 4K in Janesville. The families here were so welcoming last year and I am beyond excited to be back for another year!
I currently reside in Appleton with my husband and our 4 children. Quinton is in 6th grade at Xavier Middle School. Kaleya is in 5th grade at Xavier Middle School. Joanna is in 4K at Xavier Elementary School, Marquette Street. Tristan is in the preschool program here!!. In our free time we enjoy doing things as a family such as game nights, walks and going to the park.
If you have any questions, concerns, or if you would like to volunteer in the classroom, please feel free to contact me at [email protected] or 766-0186. I will promptly respond to any contact.
Thank you, Angela Fye
Homework
I believe that home time is for the family so if your child uses his/her time wisely at school he/she will have minimal homework each evening. You can expect to have no homework on Fridays as well as no big assignments due on a Monday. Please help to ensure that your child comes to school prepared. I will give them more than enough time to work on assignments at school.
Students will be using notecards to help them develop study skills. They will have flashcards for math as well as vocabulary and important facts on some cards to assist in studying for upcoming tests and quizzes. Please help them to review regularly.
I will let you know I have seen their assignment notebook by signing each day after it is completely filled in. Please sign their assignment notebook daily as well.
Snack
We will have snack daily. Please send a healthy snack with your child. Thank you for you all of your help!
Spelling
Our class will have a weekly spelling test on Tuesday. We will be practicing by doing activities at school; however you will also want to practice the words with your child. I will be posting the list on Spelling City. Please feel free to check out the words at: http://www.spellingcity.com/afye3/
