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.

Dear Parents,
            Well, we are coming to the end of our first month of school.  I enjoyed meeting and talking to all of you on Back-to-School Night. In Math, we have been working on place value, numbers in expanded form and standard form, rounding numbers, place value, rounding money, and making change. We will have our math test on Tuesday. In Language Arts, we have been reading stories such as , “The Dream Catcher”, “Yoon and the Jade Bracelet".  We have been working on sequence, context clues, and visualization.  In Grammar, we have been working on types of sentences such as exclamations, statements, questions, and commands.  We also wrote an acrostic poem about fall. In Religion, we learned about Jesus birth, death, and resurrection. We learned about the story of Lazarus  and the parts of the Bible. In Computer, we have been working on our typing skills as well as the Xtra math website and the Splashmath website.  In Social Studies, we have been learning about communities, directions, and types of maps. In Science, we have been learning about investigations and types of tools used in an investigation. We also had fun working on a STEM activity with paper airplanes!  We also enjoyed celebrating Johnny Appleseed Day with an apple taste test.
            Please be sure to have your child write their heading on their spelling homework. I have been reminding them of this often. (first and last name, date and title such as Spelling 3x each etc.)  All papers should have first and last names on them and if a date is required, it should be filled in. Tests should be signed and returned the next school day.
            We had a great Grandparents' Day this past Friday. The children enjoyed interviewing their grandparents and making their hand project with them!
