Welcome to Third Grade!!!

This is my fifth year at Margaret Brent, and I am so excited for another year in third grade!! This year is going to be full of learning, excitement, adventure, growth and FUN!!
My goal is to create a classroom community where we can build each other up, celebrate each other's successes and mistakes, and encourage each other while we work hard to reach our goals. Mistakes are springboards to learning, and are always embraced in Miss Parrott's classroom!

Change Your Words, Change Your Mindset...

We want to instill a growth mindset in all of our students. What does this mean, you ask?? A growth mindset is where students believe that they are capable of expanding their intelligence and capabilities through hard work and perseverance! We want to praise students for their hard work and encourage them to never give up, even when faced with a challenge. There is no such thing as a "limit" to a child's potential! Even when mistakes are made, there is opportunity for growth. I am excited to help students grow and believe in their incredible abilities this year.

If you want more information about the growth mindset, this video will give you a great introduction! http://https://youtu.be/NWv1VdDeoRY

We are going to have a great year in third grade!

I cannot wait to spend the year together and grow as learners!!
