Dear Parents,
This week has been
a whirlwind of activity in Third Grade.
The children have completed several units of study with unit tests,
shared their cooking talents, and created some beautiful Brass Rubbings. It has been a lovely way to celebrate the
upcoming holiday break. I appreciate all
the additional help you have offered to help make these activities happen, both
at home and here at school.
As we look towards
the coming weeks, I would like to ask again for basketball, or other winter
team schedules. I was able to catch one
of the games last Friday evening and it was fun seeing the boys play, as well
as to see two former Tuckahoe students working as referees.
There is no
homework for the holidays beyond our usual reading each night. I have offered all students an optional
holiday pack as well as an extra credit science project that involves a “newly
discovered species”. Information about
both can be found in binder pockets.
Please feel no pressure to do either.
I simply like to make these offers as some kids and families are looking
for these sorts of shared learning opportunities.
I hope you and
your family are able to relax, and spend time with loved ones during the
break. I would also like to ask that we
all keep the families, friends and community of Newtown, CT in our thoughts and
prayers as we celebrate during this holiday season.
Enjoy the holiday
break. I look forward to hearing about
vacations when we return on Thursday,
January 3, 2013. Thank you for
entrusting your children to me each day.
Peace!
Ms.
Coffman
