Mrs. Weinstock Grade 3
Welcome, parents!
Welcome to Third Grade!
Welcome back! I hope you had a very happy and relaxing summer. I am very excited about the new school year, and I hope you are too!
All About Me
My background I grew up in Havertown and currently live in Drexel Hill. I am Catholic, and attended all Catholic schools
growing up including Sacred Heart School, Cardinal O’Hara HS, and Cabrini College.
My experience I’ve been teaching for 13 years, all at Holy Cross! I have also taught Fifth and Sixth grades.
My Goals
To give your child the academic and social skills they need to succeed in 4th grade, and beyond.
To provide a supportive and fun classroom environment where my students will be engaged in the learning process.

Classroom Community
Our classroom is a community. In our community, we have rules to help us get along with each other.
I ask that each student follow the rules posted, and also our Good Manners Rules. This helps them to become better members of any classroom or community they are a member of in the future.

Homework is assigned each weeknight. Please make sure that your son/daughter has
completed and understood each assignment. Please sign the assignment book each night.
