Dear
Parents,
We have accomplished quite a bit this week. Most of the beginning of the year
assessments are complete, transitions in the hallway are getting easier, and we
have worked with all the new specialists. In Math we have been reviewing fact
families, addition and subtraction facts.
The children have been taught several games they can pay to help
reinforce these foundational skills, which they have enjoyed. Assignment notebooks and binders are
now more familiar and papers are where they need to be for the most part. Most important is that 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.
As
we look towards next week I want to bring your attention to Back to School
Night on Wednesday evening, September 17th. The program will begin at 7:00 pm in the Gym and then move
into the classrooms. I hope you
will be able to join us for this evening of information, and opportunity to
volunteer both in and outside of the classroom.
With this newsletter, I have begun my blog for
this year. You can access it
through the main Tuckahoe Website.
Go to the “Classes” tab and click on “3rd Grade”. Under my name there is a link to my
blog. I will be using this my
primary method to keep you up to date on what is happening both in our
classroom as well as posting upcoming events. As I will make updates to the Savanna during the week, I am
asking that you visit this blog a couple of times per week to stay up to date
on what is happening in our class.
As always, thank you for all you do to send your
child to school excited and ready to learn. Hope you all enjoy your weekend
Sincerely,
Mrs.
DiNardo
