Student Welcome Letter

August 2016
Dear Student,

I hope you are enjoying these last few weeks of summer.  I look forward to seeing you soon and getting to know you and your classmates.  I can’t wait to hear about your summer adventures.  I have been gardening, visiting with friends and family, attending various concerts, hiking some new trails, spending lots of time with my cousins and godson who just turned five and is full of energy.  The highlight of my summer was visiting the ocean with family and friends.

The first few weeks of school will be dedicated to building our community of learners.  During the first week of school we will be sharing our favorite books.  Please bring in your favorite book from home on the first day of school.  This book can be one that you love to have read to you or one that you like to read by yourself.  It can be old or new, it doesn’t matter.  I can’t wait to see the variety of reading tastes in Room 6!
    
You don’t need to bring any supplies to school. All supplies you need will be available in the classroom.  

August 31st is right around the corner and it is time to start thinking about school.  I know that you might be a little nervous (I am too), so to make the transition from summer vacation to school easier there is an Open House on Tuesday, August 30th.  Come to our room (Room 6) from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. so you can explore the classroom, find your seat, meet new friends, complete a scavenger hunt and see old pals.  Enjoy the last few days of summer.  I am very excited to be your teacher - I can’t wait to see you!



Ms. LaRose
