Welcome Back!!!
Dear Parents and Students in Class 3-5,
Hello and welcome to Third Grade! I know you are ready for a challenging and fun filled, fantastic year! I am looking forward to a productive year of great achievements and high expectations.
Let me tell you a little about myself. My name is Ms. Sarah Kovacs and I will be your child’s teacher until Mrs. Jackson returns in November. I have been a teacher for eleven years. I taught second grade for five years and have taught third grade for four years. I also have experience teaching kindergarten, fourth, and sixth grade, so I am well versed in working with students in the K-5 setting. I also received my Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and Earth Science from Kean University.
My goal as your child’s third grade teacher is to provide opportunities that will foster problem-solving and critical thinking skills, and promote creativity. Students will explore literature and/or research concepts, solve problems, and rise to challenges. We will work hard to develop stamina and persistence and to grow as confident, independent thinkers. I know your child will put forth their best effort and work to meet expectations.
I look forward to working with your child and appreciate your support!
