Dear Class,
This year has been a great experience! You are an awesome class. You have learned so many new things. Division, multiplication, Apostles’ Creed, praying the rosary, cursive writing, Famous American Hero Speeches, grammar, science experiments, dioramas, math games, religion projects, the planet project, poetry readings, and book reports are some of the areas you have studied and often excelled in.
We have read many novels together and you each have read many on your own. Try to read at least six more this summer. That will help you be prepared for fourth grade.
This summer keep reading, writing in a journal, and drilling your facts. Remember to say your prayers everyday. You each are unique and very special. Remember to always try your best. Be safe! We’ll miss you all. Come and visit us next year!
God bless,
Mrs. Plafchan and Ms. Roman
