Our First Weeks

Our first weeks have been busy and fun!  We have been focused on getting to know each other, our school and our classroom routines. The children are doing a great job settling in and making new friends! 

We had some help exploring our school from characters.  After reading The Kissing Hand, we followed clues from “Chester the raccoon” as we found our way to the library, front office and health office.  So if your child mentions seeing a raccoon at school, please rest assured it was just a character from a beloved book about going to school for the first time!

In our classroom, we are lucky to have Brenda Wood as our full-time paraprofessional.

This is the first of this year’s classroom newsletters.  I will be sending one home in your child’s mail folder monthly (or more frequently if the need arises.) Please be sure to check your child’s folder each Friday, read the enclosed information and return the folder on Monday.  It is also a good idea to check your child's backpack each night just in case something needs to come home sooner.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.  Communication is an important part of our work as partners on behalf of your child’s educational growth and development.  You can reach me at school at 254-3743 x119 or at ENam@wsesu.org.

Class Communication List
Enclosed you will find our class communication list for making play dates and sending birthday invitations. Please check that your information is correct. Thanks!
