August Meet and Greet

Dear Friends,

      It was very nice to see so many of you today! If you were not able to stop by, we will have lots of time to get to know each other this school year.

      A few action shots....

 FIRST DAY TIPS....

• Try to send two snacks in case your child has a tough time eating breakfast and may be super hungry before lunch. CLEARLY mark snacks... sometimes we get confused between our lunch and our snack. I suggest not putting snacks in their lunch bag. 
• Make sure you discuss what your child their lunch plans (buy? bring?). If he/she is buying, discuss what it is he/she is going to order in the morning. 
• Discuss where and what bus your child will be taking. (I have not received the bus list as of today.)
• Be ready to HAVE FUN!  Remember, we will have music, a scavenger hunt, a prize at the end of the day, and Mrs. Young (Mrs. Hallenbeck friends should know her well). 

Bear Hugs,

Classroom Visit

Dear First Graders,

     Summer is slipping by and September will be here before you know it. We have so many fun things to look forward to this year.

     I would love for you to drop in August 31st from 2-3 to see me and, hopefully, our classroom will be all set up! This is something special that I do and the school will not be open.  You can come into my room through the outside door that I will leave open (if looking at the main entrance, it is 3 doors to the left). The kids can find their desk, drop off supplies or summer library books to help lighten their load on the first day. If you can't make it, don't worry!!  We will be doing lots of fun activities the first day so that the kids will get comfortable with myself and the classroom.
