Welcome to Mrs. Forsyth's Third Grade! 2017-2018

Welcome to Mrs. Forsyth’s third grade!    


I hope you have been enjoying a fun filled summer!  I feel honored to be your teacher
and look forward to helping you discover new interests,
meet new friends and realize the rewards that come from working hard.  

Our classroom will be a place for you to learn, laugh, explore,
be curious, challenge yourself and be part of a community of learners sharing ideas and experiences.  







A little bit about me…
I live here in Cape Elizabeth with my husband and two children, Jack and Avery.  I also have a black lab named Mac who loves to run through the woods and ride in the car.  When I’m not teaching,  I love to read, swim, garden, hike, mountain bike and ski.  


Please join me for an open house in our classroom (B118) on Wednesday, August 30th
from 3:30 - 4:00.  
  • Remember that our classroom will be partially set up as I look forward
              to you helping me design our classroom.
  • This is a great time to bring in your classroom supplies.  


Please remember to read, read, read this summer as we’ll be sharing some of our favorite stories and books this year.  Check out the  Thomas Memorial Library if you need a new series or author, the librarians are  really helpful if you tell them what types of books you like.  


Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.  Until then, enjoy the long, warm days of summer and I will  see you soon!
