Welcome to THIRD GRADE!



Welcome Parents and Families!My  name is Alison Loyd and I am the Special Education teacher serving 3rd Grade in Ms. Stegall's class! I may be a Special Education teacher, but I truly feel as if ALL the kids are my kids!

This is my third year at Sedalia Park and my sixth year teaching! I'm thrilled to spend the day in Ms. Stegall's room, working with her and your students!

I teach because I am an overcomer. I had a prenatal stroke that resulted in a weak left side. In addition, I have low vision. I share this with you because I believe it makes me a better teacher. I believe it inspires others to see what I've accomplished despite my limits. My purpose is to inspire those struggling with limits to endure and overcome through the expression of my story. 

I'm looking forwarad to a great year! Please don't hesitate to reach out to me!

You can reinforce the vocabulary at home and when you're out and about with your family! array: items arranged in rows and columns. You can make arrays with objects, cookies, have them make arrays, it can be fun! Rows and columns can be very challenging to grasp. We teach it like a movie theater. You have to go into a row before you can choose a column. Also point out buildings that have long columns in their structure. This will reinforce the visual of arrays they will be making all year. Rows first. Equal groups: an equal number of objects arranged in a given number of groups. YOu can use fruit, veggies, candies, and put them in equal grou
