Molly Natalia Neil Parker Reena Sammy Sarah Serika Zoe WELCOME TO INCOMING THIRD GRADE STUDENTS: Hello Everyone!      As we look ahead to the upcoming school year,  I'll offer a few suggestions for summer activities: I encourage summer reading at home.  In third grade we read a lot of chapter books and novels.It's always a good idea to review math skills that you learned in grade 2.  Particular areas that need reinforcement for incoming third grade students are:  counting money, measurement, subtraction with borrowing, telling time to the quarter hour, and calculating lapsed time. We do a lot of written assignments in third grade, so be sure your printing is neatly done and the letters are accurately formed.  Remember that g, j, p, and q  are "hanging" letters and fall beneath the guide line. Don't forget all the wonderful things that your grade 2 teachers taught you last year, especially with paragraph and story writing.  We will be doing a lot of that this year too.  I can't wait to meet all of you very soon.  Meanwhile enjoy the rest of the summer.                                                              Sincerely,                                                              Mrs. Bartomeli     DATES TO REMEMBER: Monday, August 31       Meet and Greet   8-9:00AM Thursday, Sept.  17       Open House        6:30PM
