Welcome to Room 952
First grade with Ms. Lee
First Day!
Good Afternoon Room 952 Families,
With the first day of first grade in the book I wanted to introduce myself and tell you we had a great first day!
I am Lorien Lee. I have been working with elementary children since 2003 in different capacities. Fom teaching dance, to working at a daycare to being a substitute teacher. This is my second year as a first grade teacher at Colonial Acres. I grew up in San Lorenzo and now live in Hayward. I went to Lorenzo Manner and Del Rey, then Arroyo. We did not have middle school back then. I enjoy reading, candles and do makeup on the side.
I am looking forward to working with your child. Today was a blast, this is going to be such a fun class. I hope your child had a great first day.
I would also like to ask permission to take a picture of your child for the classroom. I am also considering a whats app or google video phone type thing for quick and easy comminitication. What are your thoughts?
I am an easy going to teacher, I like to have fun and create a space for students to have self-agency. This is their classroom too but I am also firm in our rules, agreements and procedures for a smooth and safe classroom. So far they did amazing today learning a few classroom procedures.
I am also very open to trying new things. I try to really adapt to my students rather than the other way around. Not every class will be the same. I open for talking with any of you at anytime. You can email me here lolee@slzusd.org (we can communicate through the whats app or google video phone if we decided on that) or we can chat at pickup.
I will end this here but I will I believe each student can be successful and courage is contagious. I know we will have a wonderful school year. Happy first day!
Sincerely,
Lorien Lee
