August 2021
Dear Parents and Students,
I would like to welcome you to Sawmill
and to my class for the 2021-2022 school year. I am looking forward to working with you and to this special year with your child. These past months have been challenging for everyone, and we are hopeful for a smooth transition back to school.
I know learning at home was a very different experience than school was for the children. School this year will be different yet again. We will work together to make sure this year is motivating and positive. I
am very excited about the curriculum and the activities planned to support it.
Please have your child bring the following on
the first day of school:
1. A recent picture of himself/herself.
2.
A healthy snack. (We will have snack
time every day.)
3. Please bring all supplies to school the first day. You may want to place some in a shopping bag along with the backpack.
As you may know, the 3rd grade generic supply list can be found on MSIS Backpack News. Some parents choose to pre-order supplies and others purchase them on their own. Either way, PLEASE be sure to LABEL ALL supplies with your child's name. Below are the items your child will need in addition to the generic supplies.
* 4 thin Expo markers
* 1 large eraser
* 3 red pens
* 1 small pencil sharpener
* 1 ruler (centimeters and inches)
* 3 new socks (To use as an eraser with dry-erase boards)
* 2 additional large glue sticks
* 1 wireless mouse
If you are interested in being a CLASS PARENT, please send a note on the FIRST DAY of school! Class Parents will be chosen by the end of the first week.
I hope you enjoy the rest of your summer. I look forward to meeting you all!
Sincerely,
Mrs. McCristall
