        Welcome to Room 17 at Santa Rosa Elementary School. We are so excited to share all of the exciting things our class has learned in third grade!

        The purpose of this website is to show our family and friends everything we have learned in third grade.  In this website you will find lots of resources such as our daily schedule, homework assignments, cool projects we've completed, photos and videos of our learning, our classroom newsletters, and much more! You can even read a weekly column from one of us about the latest news in our classroom.
