2009 Parent Letter

August 26, 2009
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
