__LETTER EXAMPLE TO PARENTS__
Dear Parents and Students, Welcome to the 1st grade! I hope that you are as excited as I am to begin this year! We are going to be learning about new things, such as reading, learning to count by 2s, weather, and so much more. I want this year to be a great one filled with excitement and the love for learning. This is my first year of teaching, but I do not want that to alarm you because I am comfortable with the material and consider the interests of the students when I make my lessons to ensure they enjoy learning. Parents, I want you to be involved completely in your student’s education in my classroom. The students will have assigned work every night except on Fridays and I expect it all to be completed. Of course, I know that each student is different and they work at different paces, so I do not always expect the children to get all their work done in class. If they do not get in finished in class, they can take it home and there will be no deduction on their grade. Just ask if they have any class work to finish and this gives you a chance to see what we are learning that week. Students, I want you to love learning so I do not want to just lecture you the whole time on any of the subjects. I believe that the best way for you to learn is to learn a subject in many ways, such as through movement, creating, or thinking. I will teach you in a variety of ways to ensure that you learn and have fun! I cannot wait to start! Get ready to have fun learning! Sincerely, Ms. Moore

Dear Parents and Students,

I would like to welcome you to kindergarten. My name is Ms.

Lauren Thomas I am from Fannin County Georgia and am a graduate

of North Georgia College and State University. I can not wait to meet

everyone at open house if you are able to attend or for the first day of

school. We are going to have a great year, and I have many fun and

exciting activities to go along with the students lessons this year. This

year the students will be learning how to read, working on additions

and subtraction, and working on science experiments in class are a

few of the exciting things that we will be learning and doing this year.

Also we are going to do many art projects to go along with what we are

learning to decorate our room with, especially around the holidays. We

will be going on field trips throughout the year that will tie into what

we are learning in class. I am hoping that come fall we will be able to

go to an apple orchard when we start talking about Johnny Appleseed.

I look forward to getting to know you and having you in my class.

Sincerely,

Ms. Thomas
