Hello Room 2 Families!                                                           August 31, 2016

Welcome to First Grade in Room 2!

We’re off to a great start in our classroom! There are many new routines and expectations at the beginning of the year and the children have been eager learners today. We’re making connections with one another and looking forward to a fabulous year ahead as a classroom community!

Our Specials Schedule is as follows:

Monday: Library with Mrs. Flannery

Tuesday: Technology with Mrs. Crozier

Wednesday: Gym with Ms. Frasier (children should wear sneakers to Gym)

Thursday: Music with Mrs. Pohl

Friday: Art with Ms. Soeltz

Please send a morning snack with your child each day. Please remind your child that although it is often meant with good intentions and kindness, we don’t allow children to share snacks due to a variety of food allergies. A water bottle, labeled with your child’s name, is a good idea as well; we do have water fountains around the school if your child prefers.

First Grade Curriculum Night will be on Thursday, September 8^th from 7:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Parents attend this meeting for an in-depth look at our first grade year. I’m looking forward to sharing the many exciting learning adventures that lie ahead for your child and I’m eager to meet those of you whom I’ve not yet met. Please mark your calendar, as this evening will be full of important information to help you support your child during the school year.

I’ll be sending home a newsletter at the end of next week so that you know a bit more about the first 2 weeks in our classroom. I look forward to sharing some activities that we’ve explored, as well as sharing some information about other teachers who your child will see in our classroom during the school year.

I’m hoping to create a class list of email addresses as soon as possible. Could you please send your email address or addresses to me at lise_weig@wayland.k12.ma.us at your earliest convenience? Thank you very much for helping out with this!

If you have any questions or concerns, or if you’d just like to get in touch to introduce yourself, please don’t hesitate to email me or call me at Happy Hollow at 508-358-2120.

I hope you all enjoy the remainder of the week and the long weekend ahead!

Take Care,

Lise Weig J
