Assalamu Alaikum!
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you and your child to the third grade! We hope that you and your family had a relaxing summer break and are ready to begin an exciting year at MDQ Academy.
My name is Nadia Riaz and this is my 3rd year teaching 3rd grade at MDQ Academy. I graduated with my Bachelor’s in Health Science from Stony Brook University and received my Masters in Teaching from Fordham University. I am NYS certified in Early Childhood and Childhood Education. I am excited about having your child in my class and I hope that he/she will have a successful learning experience this year. I understand that teaching your child is a privilege, as well as a tremendous responsibility and I will do my best this year, inshallah, to ensure that each student has a motivating and safe learning experience in the classroom.
Your child will encounter many new things in third grade. We will work together while learning about communities, geography, and economics. We will investigate plant growth, changes in matter, and rocks and minerals in our science units. In math, we will embark on a voyage of learning about new topics and new ways of thinking. We will explore many different genres as we learn about ourselves as readers and writers.
I would like to start the year by becoming partners with you in your child’s education. You can help begin this partnership by taking a few moments to describe your child. How do you see your child as a learner and as a person? What are your child’s interests? What are some goals you have for your child for third grade? What important things should your child’s teacher know to help him or her have a successful school experience? Please jot down these ideas and send them to me at [email protected] or [email protected].
We look forward to working together to create a positive and productive school year. Inshallah!
