Dear Parents/Guardians:
Welcome to the “fantastic world” of 3rd grade. My name is Mrs. Maisha Bradley and I will be your child’s teacher for the 2009-2010 school year. I am looking forward to an exciting year of teaching and a great year of learning for your child. My philosophy for learning is that each child is unique, and each child learns in a different way. One of my jobs as a teacher is to help your child discover his or her individuality and work alongside them to maximize it. I believe in hands-on experiences, and learning creatively. I am dedicated to making this a successful and joyous year for you and your child. To ensure this success, we must keep the lines of communication open. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at school before 8:00 a.m. and after 3:15 p.m. each day by either e-mail (teachme.mtb@gmail.com) or the school office. I will be happy to return your e-mail or call as soon as possible. However, I will not be able to reply to e-mails or accept calls during the instructional day.
I look forward to seeing you soon. Once again, I would like to welcome you and your child to the “fantastic world” of 3rd grade!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Maisha Bradley

Supply list for Mrs. Coy's class
Welcome to the third grade! To help you prepare for next year, here are some supplies you will need to purchase for your child and our classroom.
As we move into the Reading and Writing Workshop as a way to teach and support our children to become passionate readers and writers, it may be necessary to request additional supplies. However, I believe the above is the bulk of what will be needed.
Please make sure your child reads a book from the summer booklist you were given from Mrs. Arcaro. We will begin our book talks the first week in September.
I look forward to a very happy, successful and productive year.
- Mrs. Coy
- 3 boxes of 250 count tissues (to be shared in the classroom throughout the year)
- 2 containers of antibacterial wipes
- 2 squirt bottles of hand sanitizer
- 2 large packages of throat/cough drops (CVS has Vitamin C throat drops)
- Ten (10) two-pocket folders (with the pockets on the bottom (not on the sides please). Label your child’s name and room number on the outside of the folder. Label the following subjects in the middle of the folder:
