Mrs Ceras

I graduated from Seton Hall University with a degree in Elementary Education and English. I have been a CCD teacher here at ICS for over 20 years. I was a Kindergarten teacher for 15 years and have been teaching 3rd grade at ICS for the last 6 years. I love teaching and look foward to working with your children everyday.

Summer Reading Project

Welcome to 3rd Grade!
Dear Parents,
            I am sending home a list of supplies that will be needed for 3^rd grade. These supplies need to be brought in the first week of school. The assignment planner and tablets needed for everyday use are sold during the first week of school. Please do not buy any at the store since the students are required to use certain kinds. A price for these items will go home and that time.
            Art box – Please select a plastic one that has a tight fitting lid, the size of a regular shoe box. It should be able to fit all your child's supplies and a ruler. Label it with your child’s name. Be sure that all are supplies fit in it comfortably.                                             Supplies for the art box:

1. Scissors (not baby ones)
2. 2 glue sticks
3. 2 bottles of Elmer’s glue
4. Colored pencils
5. Colored Markers
6. 12 inch ruler that has both inches and centimeters that will fit in art box
7. Box of 24 (or larger) Crayola crayons
8. 1 Black Sharpie
9. 4 Dry erase markers

1. The children also need to have a SOFT pencil case to keep in their desk. In the pencil case, they need 5 already sharpened pencils (Mechanical pencils are not permitted), 2 red pens (No click pens), 2 highlighters, an eraser and sharpener.  
2. The students will need 3 folders (classwork, homework, library) and a 1 subject notebook for journals.
3. Workbooks and tablets must be covered with clear Contac paper. There are 3 hard covered books that need to be covered as well. They can be covered with brown paper bags or with Book Sox. If you use Book Sox you will need to buy ones that are JUMBO size.
4. NO TRAPPER KEEPERS or ROLLING BOOK BAGS
5.  1 boxes of tissues, 1 container of disinfecting wipes or baby wipes
6. Headphones or earbuds for computers and IPADS (please put name on them - not on package)

3. Write a song that tells about your story. You may sing your song with or without music. This song can be pop, rap, rock, country—the choice is yours! Be prepared to perform this for the class or have someone video your performance and bring the DVD for us to enjoy! Also include a written or type-written summary of at least 10 sentences.
