Meet Mrs. Sostarecz

Hello! My name is Christa Sostarecz and I am so happy to be a part of the wonderful Third Grade Team here at Marlborough Elementary School!  My last name might be new, but I am not!  I got married this summer, but my maiden name might be familiar to you--I used to be Miss Bardar :).

Background

This will be my seventh year teaching at Marlborough Elementary, and my fifth year in 3rd grade!  I absolutely LOVE third grade, and it was actually my favorite grade as a student!  I attended Kutztown University for my undergrad, and completed my Masters Degree at Gwynedd Mercy University. 

Personal Life

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, cooking, reading, and relaxing at home. 

Some things I love include the season Fall, being outside, coffee, shopping, and ANYTHING with chocolate!  I live in the Lehigh Valley with my husband, Luke, and our two adorable cats, Kiwi and Zelda (you will be hearing a lot about them this year)!

Classroom Procedures

 

Our classroom follows the school-wide behavior system which includes the 5 B's: 

 

Classroom Behavior System

In our classroom, we have a clip chart behavior system.
Each student has a clip, and they have the opportunity to move up or down according to their behavior throughout the school day. On the backside of your child's homework folder, there will be a calendar. At the end of each day, your child will color in what color they ended on. Please check this calendar daily, as to keep track of your child's behavior in school.

Now it’s easier than ever to find the perfect books for your child – shop our NEW online Book Clubs Web site. Choose from a much-wider selection of books than in the printed flyer. Plus, you can send your orders directly to me online and use your credit card to pay.

Best of all, we earn a FREE book for the classroom library every time a parent places an order online.

It’s so simple! Here’s how it works:

• SIGN UP at www.scholastic.com/bookclubs. On the parent page, register by clicking the “Don’t have a user name or password?” link. When prompted, enter the one-time Class Activation Code shown below. This unique code ensures that your order is sent to me.
•  
• Class Activation Code: P6JZQ
•  
• SELECT the books you’d like to order-choose from thousands of titles-many more than in our monthly flyers.
•  
• SEND your order to me only by the due date and your child’s books will be delivered directly to my classroom.

Remember, placing your online credit card order is completely safe and secure.

Ordering online is the most convenient way to use Scholastic Book Clubs. You can order anytime, right up until the online order due date.

Of course, you can still order using the form from the printed flyer. Please send a CHECK made out to Scholastic Book Clubs.
