Dear
Families;
Hello and welcome back to a great
school year. I hope that you had a
wonderful summer vacation! I am thrilled to be your child’s First Grade
Teacher. I am looking forward to meeting you and your child, and working together
to make this year the best that it can be.
I have had a terrific summer and I am ready for
the school year to begin. I have been planning a fun and educationally filled
year for our class. We are going to have an exciting year studying reading,
writing, math, and even have a little fun!!!!!! I would like to invite you to
come by for a First Grade Meet and Greet on Wednesday, August 21st
anytime between 1:30pm and 2:00pm to meet me and to see our classroom. I hope that you can come!
As a reminder on the first day of school, you
should bring:
1.
A healthy morning snack.
2.
A lunch
3.
A backpack
4.
The supplies from the supply list below
(unless you already ordered them through First Day School Supplies).
Remember
to label all sweatshirts, sweaters, backpacks, water bottles and lunch
containers with your child’s name. They get misplaced all the time and often
end up in the wrong classroom.
I
have listed some items below that your child should bring with them on the
first day of school. If you have already ordered these supplies through the
first day school supplies website, then they have already been delivered to our
classroom. You will notice that I have included a very specific list of brands
and styles of supplies that I would like your child to have. I am doing this so
that every child has the exact same type of supplies to encourage consistency
in our supplies among our class. I ask that you please follow the list provided
and send in only the brands that are listed below. Please do not label
any of the items, as we will be sharing everything. If you can not bring in
these items, I will supply them for your child. Thank you for your cooperation
and understanding.

I know that your children are very
important to you, as they are to me. I
would like to find out as much as I can about each of my students, so I am
asking for your help. In addition to
this letter, please fill out the questionnaire (both sides) and tell me
anything about your son or daughter that will help me get to know them better.
It would be wonderful if you could send it to school with your child on the
first day of school. Please include your child in this process if they would
like to help.
I am looking forward to our next
year together. If you have any questions or concerns, you can email me at
sstewart@mvschools.org. I will return
your email as soon as I can.
Looking
forward to meeting you!
Shana
