Hello MATA Mustangs!  

I am Mrs. Bates and I am one of the 3rd grade teachers here at Flora Arca Mata Elementary. I am very excited about our 2022-2023 school year! 

This will be my 18th year of teaching and I've done all my teaching at Stockton Unified.   I have experience in Kindergarten through 4th grade.

Parents, please sign up for our ClassDojo.  Both 3rd grade teachers will be using this communication app to keep in touch with parents.  A code will be sent home for you to join our ClassDojo. 

Materials:

• A backpack to transfer materials
• A homework folder (We have folders available unless students want to have their own special folder)
• Individual headphones or earbuds. I have old headphones that have been sanitized but students are welcome to bring their own.
• Everything else will be provided for:)

Class Wish List:

• Clorox or any disinfectant wipes.
• Lysol/disinfectant spray.
• Tissue
• Hand Sanitizer
• Paper Towels
• Dry erase markers, small-fine tip for students     
• Old but clean white t-shirts   (These will be cut into squares & used as erasers for dry erase boards)

Mrs. Bates
