About your Child

This will be coming home with your child on Monday, August 25th. Please use the index card we provided or you may type a response or email me. Thanks.

Dear Parents,

We are writing to ask your help in becoming partners with us in your child's education. We will have only a short time to be a part of your child's journey through life - just one fleeting school year - but we want to make a contribution that lasts a lifetime.

We know that our teaching must begin with making your child feel at home in our classrooms. We want to help the children come together into a learning community made up of particular, unique individuals, each with his/her own learning style, interests, history, and hopes. Would you help us teach well by taking a quiet moment to write us about your child? What is your youngster like? What are the things you, as a parent, know that would be important for us to know? What are your child's interests? We want to know how your child thinks and plays and how you see your child as a learner and as a person.

Thanks! As partners with you, we will work together to ensure that your child has a happy, successful year in third grade.

Sincerely,

Ms. Melville and Mrs. Sawyer
