Back To School Welcome Letter

Dear Parents,

I would like to welcome you and your child to the fourth/fifth grade multi-age classroom. We can look forward to many exciting and rewarding experiences as the year progresses. I’m excited to announce Ms. Karina Taleb will be our student teacher this fall. Ms. Taleb is a former Howard Dragon and a student at the University of Michigan – Dearborn.

Language Arts and Technology across the curriculum is a priority and will involve several Project Based Learning activities allowing students to express their creative talents. Some supplies will be provided.

The following organizational materials and supplies are optional but would be helpful to your child throughout the year:

   school box (storage for pencils, markers, color pencils, etc.)

   color pencils (mapping skills/social studies, language arts, projects, etc.)

   think markers (language arts, projects, etc.)

   liquid paper or white out (all subjects)

   extra number 2 pencils

   extra paper

   glue stick

  one-subject (100 pages) spiral notebook (math journal)

NOTE: We have limited space; therefore, it is preferred students do not bring Trapper Keepers/Large Binders.

If you would like to donate a box of Kleenex and/or disinfected wipes to our classroom, it would be greatly appreciated. In addition, students will need a read-to-self book and a healthy snack the first full day of school (Wednesday, September 6).

Your cooperation and assistance, throughout the school year, will be most appreciated.

                                                                                                  Thank you,

                                                                                                   Ms. Martin
