     Welcome back to Taft as third graders!  I look forward to meeting all 
of you on Wednesday, August 27th.  We have a busy and fun year ahead.  Here 
is a list of your classmates:

       Marissa A.                 Abigail B.                Arianna B.
       Alese C.                   Jake D.                   Benjamin E.
       Tara G.                    Samuel H.                 Matthew J.
       Nicholas K.                Ethan L.                  John L.
       Jade L.                    James L.                  Morgan O.

Hopefully you received a letter in the mail a few weeks ago listing supplies 
you will need.  You will find a copy of that list under the supplies tab.  
This year the food services department will not be sending home menus. You 
can find the menu on the Uxbridge Public Schools site.  Enjoy your last few 
days of vacation.  I'll see you soon.
                                 Sincerely,
                                 Mrs. Auciello


SUMMER BIRTHDAYS

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Jenna, Tara, Matthew, Samuel, and Ethan who all celebrated 
their special day over the summer.  We hope you had fun!


SPECIAL ATTENTION

PLEASE REMEMBER:  We do have a student with a peanut allergy in the 
classroom!  Please be sure to keep this in mind whenever any food is sent in 
for celebrations, etc.

MATHEMATICS

It is critical that they KNOW their basic addition and subtraction facts as 
we start the year.  This was their only assignment over the summer. Please 
practice EVERY NIGHT for at least 10 minutes. It will make a difference and 
will provide a stonger background as we move forward with other skills, 
preparing for the mathematics MCAS test in the spring.  We will be working 
diligently on learning multiplication facts in the near future.  

Be sure to check out the new links for math web sites.


OPEN CIRCLE

We are an Open Circle classroom.  Hopefully your children are discussing 
this program with you.  We will have several Open Circle lessons each 
week.

TEXT BOOKS

The students will be coming home with all of their text books (5) the first 
few days of school.  Hopefully you'll find a moment to look over our 
curriculum.  ALL text books are to be covered immediately.  Students seem to 
like the stretch fabric covers, however any NON-STICK sturdy paper cover 
will do.  

If you need a refresher in making book covers check out the attached 
file in the DOCUMENTS tab.
