This has been another amazing and fulfilling semester at TDS.. I am so proud of my students and their academic progress made this semester! We have covered a lot of material and participated in many fun and exciting projects. The students are developing skills needed for the first grade, such as reading, handwriting, money, time, computer skills, addition and subtraction, and many more.
Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to be with your child for the past semester. Each of the students has brought such joy and happiness to our classroom. I was so fortunate to have such a wonderful group of children this year. My friends and family often laugh at me when I refer to your children as “my kids”. They are like my own children. They all have touched my life and this school year in very positive and rewarding ways. I hope as the years go by that they keep in touch. Today's technology can help us continue to relationships we have built. I encourage and welcome correspondences from you and your children. My home email is: sgrosmanfam@hotmail.com.It has been my pleasure getting to know not only your child, but you as well. Having parental support and open lines of communication is an essential part of any successful school year. Thank you for all you have done to make our year so fulfilling and memorable.
As your child moves into the next semester with Morah Judy, there are some very important things you can do to help them succeed. Engage in meaningful conversations with your child everyday. Take time (if only a few minutes a day) to really listen to what they have to say. Read to and listen to your child read. Practice those sight words. (ask Morah Judy for them, they will cover 2 each week) Talk about ways and start practicing getting and staying organized. Encourage your child to write often! Writing stories, letters, journal entries, etc are great ways to get thoughts organized and put onto paper. These little things will lead to big successes next year. Again, thank you for a wonderful semester. I will truly miss your child. Mrs. Sharon Grosman
