Welcome to Mrs. Falcone's 3rd grade Website! Please take a look at the following information, and e-mail me anytime!

Character Pillar for the month of January - Responsibility - Samantha Iniguez
Samantha is a wonderful example to her peers of what is means to be responsible. She always follows directions, and makes sure others to as well, She also does her best on everything, every single time.
The next pillar is Fairness, so I will be watching for students who demonstrate equality to their peers, and follow the rules of the classroom and of the school!
Coming up!...
