I am so excited to begin this journey through 3rd grade with you! Our explorations will channel us through our imaginations as we investigate, analyze, and create. What can our 3rd graders accomplish this year? The possibilities are endless!
In addition to being the 3B homeroom teacher, I will also be the Grade 3 Math and Science teacher. Mrs. Haynoski will be the Grade 3 Language Arts/Social Studies teacher and 3A homeroom teacher.
Warmly, Mrs. Kotasthane
