Success in the Savanna, 9/20/13

Dear Parents,

            I would like to thank those of you who were able to attend Back to School Night on Tuesday evening. It was so nice to meet you all.  I realize there was a lot of information shared in a short period of time, however I do hope you came away from the evening with a bit of an understanding about the year ahead.  While it is a year of change and transition for your child, remember, it is a process and there will be a lot of small steps along the way.

It is amazing to me that three weeks of school are under our belts.  We have accomplished quite a lot this month.  In Reading we are learning how to look for important words in non-fiction text, and to “read” the pictures for information.  In Math we have been reviewing number value and place and working with groups of ten and hundred.  I have introduced your child to several, free math websites.  Links for these can be found o the Tuckahoe website OR on our classroom blog.  Assignment notebooks and binders are now even more familiar and our room is operating at a near-normal, high paced rhythm.  It’s hard to believe that it has been only three weeks.    

            Look for a field trip permission slip coming in this Friday Folder.  Also, conference confirmations for those scheduled next week are also enclosed.  Finally, if your child is playing a fall sport, please send me their schedule.  I do like to get out over the weekend and catch a game or two. As always, thank you for all you do to send your child to school excited and ready to learn.  Enjoy the weekend.

                                                                                    Sincerely,


                                                                                    Theresa Coffman
