Dear parents and students of 2nd, 3rd, and 4th,

It is with great joy and enthusiasm that I welcome you to another exciting, stimulating, and fun-filled school year. As always, our goal to enrich the minds and spirits of our students is central to us here at Our Lady Queen of Martyrs school. I hope you have had a wonderful summer and that you are as eager as I am to begin.

This year as in the previous, I will be instructing the children in Math and Science. Students will be working individually as well as collaboratively in both subject areas. Students are responsible to complete all assignments and to prepare for quizzes and tests. All students will be taking a mid-term and final exam, with the 4th graders also taking the NY State Exam in both respective subjects.

In Science students will be performing a minimum of 20 experiments that cover topics ranging from matter and energy to fossils and plants. Mathematics will continue to focus on the development of vocabulary, computational and problem-solving skills through the use of various methodologies. All topics and lessons are in accordance with the standards set forth by the State of New York.

Preparation is a vital part of success. Below I have provided a list of supplies your child will need. I look forward to working together with you and wish all a happy and successful year. Remember “ no one plans to fail, except those who fail to plan.”

THANK YOU.

MR. BADIA
