We had a ball on Halloween in Room 5! Thank you to the Pizzorusso and Czarkowski families for organizing a fun craft and treats after the parade! The kids looked great in their costumes and really enjoyed decorating their pumpkins and visiting with their classmates.
Thanks to everyone who has signed up for a parent-teacher conference with me. I'll be sending home confirmation reminders on Friday. If you haven't signed up yet, it's really important to do so soon. I'm really looking forward to updating you on your child's progress!
October is Fire Prevention month, so third graders will attend an important assembly presented by Haddam Fire Department later this month. Mrs. Lenahan recently sent home a helpful "how to" sheet that illustrates how specific math concepts are taught to third graders. Some concepts look very different from how we all learned, so consultinhg this guide can help you understand how your child was taught. you can contact any f s with questions. Hello Room 5 families!
Please join me for an overview of the third grade curriculum and a tour of the classroom tomorrow evening, Wednesday, September 14, 2016 beginning at 6:30 pm. You will hear about third grade expectations for work at school and homework. You can sign up for fall conference appointments at that time as well. I look forward to seeing you and chatting about your child’s third grade year! Warm regards, Kathleen Egan Third Grade Teacher Burr Elementary School Hello Room 5 families!
We invite all of you to join us on Wednesday, December 23rd, to a holiday breakfast and Trimester Awards from 9:15 to 10:00 am, followed by the annual holiday sing along in the cafeteria. During the breakfast your third graders will share their holiday traditions pieces they created using Adobe voice and other work. We'll have coffee, tea and cocoa. Please feel free to bring a breakfast item to share. You can join us for morning meeting at 9:00 am and drop off/set up breakfast items at that time (or before 8:35 am if you’re headed to work.) I will have a dismissal sign-out sheet available if you wish to take your child following the sing along. For those students who will leave on buses or be picked up at 1:05 pm, we’ll be working on fun wrap-up activities. Sincerely, Ms. Egan |
