From Me To You
Wow, we had a great first week of learning and getting to know each other. I will be sending out a weekly newsletter. Please read it carefully for important reminders and to see what we are learning. My hope is by keeping you informed we will create a school to home connection. This will help you support the learning that is going on in our classroom.
I look forward to working with your child and you this year. Together we will help them be successful in first grade.
As a reminder parents aren't aloud to eat lunch with their child until September 6th. This is so we can get them into the rituals and routines of the cafeteria.
