Welcome back!


Welcome to Third Grade!  My name is Mrs. Matlosz and I am going to be your teacher this year. I hope that you have had a fun and exciting summer.  I had an amazing summer with my kids.  I have Ava who is 5 1/2 and Jack is 8.  We’ve had an awesome time hanging out at our cottage, going to Michigan’s Adventure, and we loved camping in the Upper Peninsula.  Even though I’ve had a great summer, I can’t wait to get the year started and meet all of you.  I hope to see you Wednesday, August 28, 2013 for our curriculum night. 
 
6:30 P.M. – New VV Family Meeting in Media Center
7:00 – 8 – ALL SCHOOL OPEN HOUSE!  *feel free to drop off supplies at any time.
 
Now for your first assignment:  to introduce yourself to me and your classmates, please bring a postcard or photo to school showing one of your summer adventures around the state of Michigan. Your postcard could be about almost anything you have done this summer…a trip to visit friends or relatives, playing with friends, a vacation, camping, relaxing at the beach or at home, etc. We will be sharing your postcard with the class and making a bulletin board with them. Thank you in advance for remembering to bring this on Tuesday.
 
Each third grader will have a desk this school year. The desks allow you to be responsible for your own “space”, but are quite small.  Please bring school supplies such as pencils, crayons, glue stick, folders, and scissors; please leave trapper keepers, rolling back packs, toys, and games at home.  Thank you very much for your cooperation in this area.  Also, in third grade, you will probably be hungry before our lunchtime.  I know that I usually am!  You are encouraged to bring a healthy snack (no candy please) with you to eat in the morning.
          I am looking forward to meeting you.  Third grade is going to be AWESOME!
