Dear
Parents,
I
would like to thank those of you who were able to attend Back to School Night
on Tuesday evening. It was so nice to meet you all. I realize there was a lot of information shared in a short
period of time, however I do hope you came away from the evening with a bit of
an understanding about the year ahead.
While it is a year of change and transition for your child, remember, it
is a process and there will be a lot of baby-steps along the way.
It is amazing to me that three weeks of school are
under our belts. We have
accomplished quite a lot this month.
In Reading we are learning how to look for important words in
non-fiction text, and to “read” the pictures for information. In Math we have been reviewing number
value and place and working with groups of ten and hundred. Assignment notebooks and binders are
now more familiar and papers are where they need to be for the most part. Most importantly, we are enjoying each
other’s company and learning to work together as a community of learners.
Looking back there are many successes to celebrate.
I
do have one housekeeping items I need your help with. If your child is playing a fall sport, please send me their
schedule. I do like to get out
over the weekend and catch a game or two. As always, thank you for all you do
to send your child to school excited and ready to learn. Enjoy the weekend.
Sincerely,
Mrs.
DiNardo
