π A Million Words or Less - Parent Homework
Feel free to share likes/dislikes, past good/bad school experiences, interesting information about your family, and anything that will help me be the best teacher I can be for your child!
You can send this to me through the Google Form linked below, Seesaw Messages, email, or written on paper! I'd love to have these by the end of the first week of school if possible!
I have received this from several families, but if you haven't done it yet, please take a few minutes to complete the link below over the weekend! I can't wait to read about your child!
