I appreciate you signing up as soon as you are able.

Thanks and see you then!

Hello Families,

Here are a few reminders/important info:

• Birthdays- we will celebrate with your child's favorite book. You may also choose to buy a copy of the book, sign and date, and donate for their special day. I will also give them a birthday bracelet. We will not celebrate with treats. Thanks!
• Trips- you will need to fill out paperwork for your child if they will miss more than 3 days of school. I appreciate knowing either way, even if you are picking up your child early for just the day.
• Short week- we will only have school M-W next week.

Thanks and have a great weekend.

Hello Familes,

Here are a couple of quick reminders/corrections:

•  Next week is PE. Please send your child with appropriate shoes and a water bottle.
• PEAS Farm is on Wednesday at 1:15.
• Birthdays- invites can only be sent home if the whole class is invited. Our school policy also includes no treats- due to allergies and loss of instructional time. Your child may bring a special book to read and/or donate to our class library to celebrate their special day.

We will be going to the PEAS Farm on Wednesday, Sept. 20th. We will leave school at 1:15 and return at 2:45. Please let me know if you'd like to join us.

Dear Families,

Dear Families of First Graders,

Hello! I am so excited to have your child in my classroom this year.

I look forward to getting to know you and your child.  Our first week we will work on building community, reviewing school rules and procedures as well as setting expectations in our classroom for an ideal learning setting.  On Wednesday I will be sending home a few forms needed by myself and the school.  Please complete and return as soon as you are able to.

I hope you’ll be able to come by and say a quick hello on Tuesday night, during Back to School Night from 5:00-6:00.  Please use this time to find your child’s cubby and place their supplies in their designated areas around my room.  I will attach my supply list at the end of this letter. There are some mistakes that were listed for our grade level but my class website is updated and includes items needed.  I will have extra supplies for the first days of school so no worries if you don’t have everything right now.

Please see my staff page on our school website for updated information and more about me.

Here are a few highlights from my summer:

I ran into a former student and his brother when I visited Santa Barbara.  He was in one of my very first classes and is now 27!

Collecting beach glass is one of my favorite things to do when visiting the ocean.

I spent lots of time on the river, roller skating, puzzling, hiking, and visiting and catching up with friends and family.

***My daughter just pointed out that I don’t have a group shot of my family that includes all of us from this summer. I’ll add an updated pic of my family to my webpage later. (My oldest just got his wisdom teeth out on Friday and is still quite swollen so it will be a few days or more).
