Mr. Levine's Jedi Academy

From the Desk of Mr. Levine

Dear Parents and Students,

Welcome to fourth grade with Mr. Levine!  This is now my 17th year teaching fourth grade at Manetuck, and 23rd year teaching overall. Where in the world does the time go?!?  I am looking forward to a very exhilarating year with your child!  My most basic goals for the year are to instill in each child a sense of confidence and self-esteem, while expanding their academic proficiencies to their fullest potential.  I will expand the foundation of skills that will make their transition into fifth grade and beyond a smooth one.

During the course of the year, I will keep you apprised of what we are doing in the classroom, including new concepts, themes, and special events.

Since this educational experience is a group effort, I will be looking forward to working with all of the parents throughout the year.  I am so looking forward to meeting everyone at Open House.

The following is a list of supplies your children will need for school on the first day, which is Wednesday, September 6th.

Ÿ  One notebook (perforated sheets) labeled “Language Arts”

Ÿ  One black & white composition notebook

Ÿ  Six folders: Label each one-Language Arts, Math, Social Studies, Science, Genre Study, and Home

Ÿ  One pair of scissors, labeled with your child’s name

Ÿ  two boxes of tissues

Ÿ  two large erasers

Ÿ  One art smock with the child‘s name on it(Large old t-shirt is fine)

Ÿ  Pencil sharpener

Ÿ  Pens (erasable) and Pencils(#2)-at least 10 of each

Ÿ  Colored Pencils

Ÿ  A case for your school supplies

Ÿ  One water bottle that the children can keep at their seat

Ÿ  One pocket dictionary

Ÿ  Large pack of markers

Ÿ  2 pairs of ear buds

I look forward to working with each one of you to ensure the successful continuation of your child’s education.  I am so excited to continue teaching fourth grade, and promise to exhibit the same enthusiasm and caring attitude that have always benefited my students.

Sincerely,

Mr. Levine
