Welcome back to the 2016-17 School Year!


Tuesday, August 23, 2016

Welcome Parents and Students of Room 17!

My name is Kathleen Camerato and I have the pleasure of teaching your children this coming school year.  I hope you all have had a relaxing summer.  We have been incredibly fortunate to have this surplus of sunshine and it can make letting the summer go that much harder.  In one week school will start and I am eager to meet your children and embark on a new year with them. 
As the summer comes to a close I begin to get truly excited about the year to come.  The children that come into Paton on Tuesday, August 30, will not be the same ones that move on to Sherwood next year.  Fourth grade is a year of experience, growth, friendship, risk-taking, and self-awareness.  The children will be challenged, asked to get outside of their comfort zone, and explore their passions as they learn.  I feel very grateful to be a facilitator of their learning and to be part of the team that supports them along the way.  Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns at any point in the year.  Your children’s growth and success is my priority and your insights to how they best learn are very valuable.  
This Thursday, August 25, there is a New-To-Paton Information Night from 6:30-7:30 PM. Friday, August 26, the children can come into our classroom (room 17) to explore during the Open House from 5:00-6:30 PM.  I will not be in the classroom, but they can look around, find their desk, and perhaps meet some classmates.  The first week of school is only 3 days because the teachers have a professional development day on Friday, September 2, so there will be no school for the kids.  Fourth Grade Curriculum Night is Thursday, September 22.  When the exact time is determined I will share it with you.  Please try to come because I will share important information with you that night.
I look forward to meeting you all in September at Curriculum Night.  Please reach out to me with any questions or information before then if they come up.  Enjoy the last few glorious days of summer!

Sincerely,
Kathleen Camerato
