About Mrs. Williams -

Hello!  My name is Amy Williams and I am a third grade teacher at Madison Elementary.  I am looking forward to another very positive and fun filled year.

I am thrilled about working with students and you this year!

Please check my website and Facebook page to see the latest news and current activities of our classroom.

Communication

I feel parent involvement and communication with school is a very important part of a child’s education. Throughout the year, I will send home newsletters and notes to keep you informed about what is going on at school and how you can assist your child. If at ANYTIME you have questions or concerns, please contact me.  Feel free to text (920) 320-1275, call me at Madison at (920) 663-9466, or e-mail me at williamsa@mpsd.school.  I will try my best to return your message the same day.  I will update this web page throughout the year and I have a Facebook page titled, Mrs. Williams’s 3rd Grade Classroom! Click on the link under Internet Links and Like us!

Generally, students will have some time to complete assignments in class, however if the work is not finished, it needs to be taken home. I encourage you to help your child by having a set time and place for homework. I will staple a note to the assignment notebook if an assignment(s) is/are incomplete and ask that you sign and return the slip along with the completed homework. 
 
Please allow for at least 15 minutes of reading and 5 minutes of math fact practice!

At the end of each day, we will record homework assignments and special announcements in the assignment notebook. I will sign the notebook before your child leaves. Please sign your child’s notebook after their work is completed for the evening. I will check for a signature the following morning. Please feel free to communicate with me through the notebook.

On Friday, please take time to review the items in the Friday Folder and send it back to school!

Every morning, students will have the opportunity to eat free breakfast in the classroom.  Each child will have the chance to choose the meal kit (2-3 items) and extra serving of fruit and milk (optional).  Students will eat first thing in the morning at 8:10. 

Healthy Snack

Since third grade doesn’t eat lunch until 12:20, every morning, we will have a healthy snack break. I would encourage these snacks to be fruits, vegetables, crackers, granola bars, or something you feel is nutritious.

Behavior Policy and Procedures

PBIS (Positive Behavior and Intervention System) will be used to acknowledge positive behavior and reteach inappropriate behaviors in our classroom.  Our school has adopted three school-wide rules:  Be Responsible, Be Respectful, and Be Safe.  As a class, we will discuss and learn what that looks like in our classroom and other areas at school.  Together, we will set a class goal and try to fill up the popcorn jar to earn a class reward.  I also reward individual students for positive behavior.  Students receive “chance” tickets to be put into a drawing on Friday.  Every Friday, I will pick multiple winners to choose a reward from my classroom!

If a student is in need of reteaching for an unacceptable behavior, that student will receive a warning.  If the behavior continues, the student will receive a second warning and reteaching.  Continued inappropriate behavior will again receive reteaching for appropriate behavior and a consequences.  Consequences are dependent on the severity of the misbehavior, but may include: loss of privilege, a Think Sheet, practicing the expected behavior with the teacher/classmate, note or text/phone call home.
