Welcome to third grade! I am a proud graduate of Loyola University of Chicago. I have been a teacher at St. Catherine-St. Lucy since 1992. In that time, I have more than 30 years of experience teaching third grade, two years experience teaching fourth grade, and one year teaching fifth grade. In my opinion, third grade is a year of transition. We transition from addition and subtraction to multiplication and division. We progress from learning to read to reading to learn. And, most importantly, we transition from teacher directed activities to independent learning. The goal of our class are challenging; however with parental and teacher cooperation, all students will grow. Please contact me with questions or concerns at sbryant@catherinelucy.org
