Dear Third Graders,

Welcome back, everyone! I’m sure you’re going to miss the summer, but we’re going to have so much fun when you get to school! On the first day, we'll spend some time sharing some of our favorite summer memories. I had a great time this summer. Mr. Waz and I spent a lot of time with our dog, Winnie. You will hear a lot about her this year! Winnie likes going for walks, hiking in the woods, playing frisbee, and snuggling with me. She keeps me pretty busy! I also read a few books, went boating on the CT River, visited my friends and family, and worked on our new classroom!

To prepare for each school day, you don't need much at all. Some important things to bring from home every day are a backpack, a healthy snack, and lunch (or you can always buy lunch here). Everything else is already here and waiting for you! I will give you folders, notebooks, pencils, scissors, and everything else you will need to be a successful third grader.

In my opinion, third grade is one of the most fun years of learning. For example, in science, we will study things like plants, animals, recycling, rocks, and minerals. In social studies, you will learn about famous artists, map skills, and different places in the United States. Of course, let’s not forget, every day we will be doing plenty of reading, writing, and math!

We will have a snack in the morning around 9:45, go to recess at 11:30, and eat lunch at 12:00. Our specials are right after lunch at 12:30. Here is our special schedule:

A Day: Music

B Day: P.E.

C Day: Art

D Day: Spanish

On Tuesday, August 28, there will be an Open House at Chester Elementary from 2:15-2:45. During the Open House, you and your family can come in and have a first look at your new classroom! The first day of school is Thursday, August 30, an "A" Day. Please enjoy the rest of your summer, and I will see you soon!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Waz
