Hello!

I hope you had a wonderful and relaxing summer filled with exciting adventures! I am really excited for the school year to start and hope you are too. There are a lot of exciting changes that have happened over the summer that you will discover throughout the first few weeks of school! The new school year is going to bring a lot of new experiences as middle school students that I hope you will enjoy, which you will learn about during the first week of school.

After you get accustom to your new school year and all of the exciting things that come with the start of the school year, we will begin to work together! In language arts we will work in book clubs again, and will start the year reading a fun non-fiction book.  In math, Ms. Franczyk and I have been working closely to plan the school year and we have some fun and exciting things to work on through out the year! In writing, I have found a bunch of new resources that we will use to help become much stronger writers!

We also have a new and exciting website I would like you to join me on. Its called Edmodo (www.edmodo.com) I am going to use it a lot this year to share information and homework. We will also use it for discussions and other things. Your parents can also join to keep track of grades and homework! We will sign up the first week of school together.

As you begin to prepare for the first day of school remember that if you have any questions you are welcome to contact me and I would be happy to answer any questions you have! Please feel free to email me at etrad@eriecharterschool.org.

Enjoy the last few days of summer and see you on Tuesday!

Mr. Trad
