Dear Third Graders and Families,
Welcome to third grade! I hope you had a wonderful summer and are ready for an exciting year at Center. I can’t wait to hear about all the fun things you’ve been up to.
This summer, I spent lots of time at the Cape with my husband and four children, went to many sporting events, and enjoyed some Fourth of July fireworks. What did you do this summer? Did you go somewhere special or make any fun memories? Take a moment to think of a few things you’ll be ready to share. It’s going to be hard for me to choose just one!
I also enjoyed having some downtime to read. Did you read any good books this summer? What is your favorite book? Our classroom library is filled with many new books, and I wonder which one you’ll choose!
To celebrate all the “amazing” things you did over the summer, please bring in a picture that shows something amazing you did. We’ll display the pictures under our hallway sign: “Welcome: Amazing Things Happen Here!”
First Day Reminders
Thursday, August 27: Look for me on the playground at 8:25 a.m. There will be a sign with my name on it.
Bring a snack and lunch, unless you are getting school lunch.
Bring a reusable water bottle.
We have PE Thursday and Friday, so please wear sneakers.
Bring a book of your choice that you can read independently.
Bring a picture of something “amazing” you did over the summer.
Please send in a $6.50 check made payable to Center School for the Scholastic News subscription.
Dismissal is at 2:45 p.m. I’ll email our dismissal plan next week.
Complete and return the Getting to Know Your Child Questionnaire and dismissal plan.
A Few More Details
I’ll send a weekly newsletter with a week-in-review and information about upcoming events. Your child will bring home a folder with one pocket for items that can stay at home and another for items that need to be returned to school.
Students will record assignments in their school-issued agendas and bring them back and forth each day. Homework will include 20 minutes of independent reading each night, along with studying math facts and spelling words.
Please take a few minutes to complete the Getting to Know Your Child Questionnaire and after-school pickup plan and look through my website. Be sure to read the Center School Family Guide and email me if you have any questions.
I’m looking forward to a great year together. See you all Thursday.
Sincerely,
Ms. Pantuosco
