Dear Parents,

 

     Welcome!  I am so excited to start a new school year! AT SCHOOL!  I have been teaching for 27 years, 19 of those in first grade.  As you know things are going to look very different in first grade this year.  The first grade teachers have worked very hard this summer to be ready.

 

    Each week your child will bring home their D.O.T. folder with an assignment sheet in it.  The assignment sheet has a list of spelling and sight words we are working on that week as well as each night’s homework.  There will be upcoming events here at school listed at the bottom.  Feel free to write any notes you need me to see on the assignment sheet.

 

    They will eventually bring home a baggie with books to read. Later, I will also send math facts that they can cut apart and practice.

 

    Please feel free to call me at school or home anytime. If you have not joined the class Bloomz page please do that.  It will make communicating a lot easier if we should have to switch to remote learning quickly. We will also be using See Saw, an online classroom format. There will be some homework activities on here to help you and your child become comfortable in the event we would have to use it full time.

 

I look forward to getting to know you and your child.
