Dear Parents\/Guardians,<\/p>\n
I want to welcome your child to a new prosperous academic year. I have been teaching Third grade at Henry Ford for fifteenth years.\u00a0 It is rewarding to observe the students improve academically as the year goes by.\u00a0 I hope your child had an enjoyable summer and is well rested.<\/p>\n
My goal is to help your child learn all content areas as the year progresses.\u00a0 Your cooperation as parents is essential to ensure the success of your child by making sure homework and assignments are done in a timely manner.<\/p>\n
I would appreciate providing these supplies to your child on the first week of school:<\/p>\n

A student that ends his\/her day on green for 4 out of the 5 school days per week will get to participate in a monthly celebration.<\/p>\n Planner<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Your child will be given a planner to log all school homework and upcoming tests and projects.\u00a0 This is to help keep you informed about your child\u2019s assignments and help stay organized.\u00a0 Please do not sign your child\u2019s planner unless all homework and assignments are completed.<\/p>\n Tests<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Tests will be sent home for you to review.
