Dear Parents,
We are still settling into our new school year in our class. Thanks for your support and patience during our transition. A special thanks goes out to those of you who have volunteered your support this year. Thanks also for the contributions you have made from the wish list. This is greatly appreciated.
I just wanted to inform you of some up-coming reminders and assignments that we need your help with. Please submit payments for C.R.C.T. Study Guide orders as soon as possible. Early orders will allow us to order the books at half the cost. Our room mom, Mrs. Lolita Wylie will take your book orders and make payments for you. Please refer to the letter that was sent home in your child’s homework folder a week ago for contact information for Mrs. Wylie. If you didn’t get this letter, please let me know as soon as possible.
We will begin our Stanford 10 Testing this week August 27 and 28 with Make Up Testing on August 31. Please have your child in bed on time, send two sharpened number two pencils, two chapter books to read and a healthy snack for school on those days.
We will begin our Book Reports during the month of September. The first two reports are due on Friday, September 25. These reports will count as part of your child’s Reading grade. Book Report Forms will be provided. Please have your child choose two books from the book list and begin reading independently at home. See Booklist attached to this letter or on our Blog. You can check out the books from the library, purchase the books from the book store, or order it through Scholastic Book Club on line. The first chapter book that we will be reading as a class is “Charlotte’s Web”. Please purchase a copy for your child. Students who have their books by September 4 will receive 100 points for their books.
Please keep checking your child’s Homework Folder for notices from school, homework assignments, notes from the teacher, Book Report forms, Reading Logs etc. You can also check for class information on our website at www.rockingthirdgraders@blogspot.com.
Feel free to contact me at school at 678-384-8920 or e-mail me at vst.rose@gmail.com.
Ms. St. Rose

Parent Coach Letter
August 6, 2009
Dear Parents,
Thank you for your awesome attendance and support today during open house and for purchasing the school supplies for school. We are off to a great start with the tools we need to make learning a third grade successful.
We plan to start our test prep early this school year and wanted to give you enough time to plan the purchase of the C.R.C. T Books: We’ve researched information about the CRCT Prep Book and found out that they do not sell it at School Box as we expected. However, they can be purchased on line in grouped orders for a reduced price or individually. Go to www.testprep.com. Click on, Coach State Test Practice with Coach. Please Order Books for Language Arts and Math. If you do not have access to the internet, call
1-800-221-9372. You can fax orders to 1-866-805-5723 or e-mail customer service @triumphlearning.com. Reading and Math are the most critical areas that we need to focus on this year in third grade. The books are about $20.00 a piece. This is a worthy investment in your child’s education. Our goal is to have all of the children working on the skills daily by early September. If you need any additional information about these books, please don’t hesitate to write a note, call, or e-mail us.
Here is an alternate g-mail web/web address that you can use to e-mail us at school_______________________________________. We are in the process of setting up blogs to also communicate to you more effectively. This will be sent to you later on in the month.
Here are just some reminders. Please remember to pack a lunch for your child daily. Please also follow-up with your child’s agenda for announced tests, projects, and quizzes along with a weekly spelling list. If your child’s dismissal procedure changes, let us know so we can make the necessary adjustments. Remind your child to use the restroom at home or early in the morning before school begins. This will save instructional time and improve punctuality with attendance.
Thanks again in advance for your continued support.
