     Dear Parents,

     It was wonderful to meet so many of you at Sneak Peek on Thursday!  I'm soooo excited about this year and the opportunity to teach Social Studies, Science, and Math to your fabulous students!!  On Monday we will be organizing supplies - if you haven't had a chance to bring your child's in yet, anytime on Monday would be great to drop them off.  Thanks in advance!

     I wanted to let you know that we flip-flop between Social Studies and Science in 3rd grade and we will be beginning with our Democracy unit in Social Studies.  In Math we start off with addition and subtraction to 1,000, place value, and rounding.  We will be doing some formatives this week to determine each student's starting point that we will build on.

     You are allowed to walk your students to class this week, but we are asking that you hold off on eating lunch with your student until after the first two weeks of school.  We will be getting our routines and procedures in place as well as reviewing our P.A.W.S. behavior rules with the students.  (You probably have seen the posters in the hallway: P is for polite, A is for accountable, W is for working together, and S is for safety.)  Also, please remember that any changes in dismissal need to be communicated to me through e-mail and to the front office by 1:30 so that we can ensure that your child gets home safely.  :)

     Thank you in advance for all of your support this year!!!
