Welcome to the Readiness Family!
Hey there my new friend!
I am SO excited to begin our year’s adventure together! I have been busy at home and school, learning new ways to make learning fun! I have also been busy with my three kids, and two dogs, playing, working, and enjoying some much needed family time. Our very favorite place in the world is special pond in the woods of Northern Maine. We head to our family spot on Shin Pond and go back to a very simple life, hiking, boating, reading, and spending lots of time with our extended family. I hope you are having some wonderful adventures as well. I can’t wait to hear all about them when we meet!
Our adventures in the readiness room will be endless! We will become readers, writers, authors, mathematicians, scientists, performers, friends and most importantly a family. I am so excited to meet you I could burst!
I know that the beginning of the year brings lots of unknowns for you and may seem a bit scary. Take some deep belly breaths and let me see if I can help with some of those worries. I would like to get to know you BEFORE the start of this school year.
The first part of this getting to know you, starts with a task for your parent or guardian. I would like your parents or gaurdians to write a letter to me. Parents and Guardians, nobody knows your child better than you do. I would absolutely love you to write me a letter introducing your child. You can email it to me at [email protected]
You might want to include a brief biography, problems, special abilities, fears, strengths, weaknesses, and past school experiences. What does your child love to do? What are your child’s feelings about school? What does your child wish to learn this year? What do you wish for your child to learn this year? I’d love to hear about your child’s favorite toys and activities, and I’d also like to know about the things that your child finds challenging. Include any information that you want me to keep in mind while I work with your child.
Part two of getting to know you is a special day when you can come to school and see our classroom and spend some time with me and you parents. On Monday August 30, I would love for you to come and see our classroom and maybe even see some of your new classmates. I will be available for your visit from 1:30-2:30.
You can also visit my website http://readinessrocks.weebly.com/. Explore the tabs to learn about our classroom. The nuts and Bolts and School Supplies tabs will be a great place to start.
I am sure you are wondering what you can do to get yourself ready for this exciting new school year. So, I’ll tell you the secret: all you will need is a backpack big enough to carry your papers and special treasures that you will work hard for here at school. You will also need an extra set of clothes labeled and in a ziplock bag, and a lunch box. I will have everything else here in our classroom for you! How cool! On our first day together I will be giving you a plastic folder which will be your very own responsibility to bring back and forth to school each day; our first step in learning responsibility. This is so exciting!
I hope you are ready to soar through our year, learning, playing and making friends. Readiness is where our adventure begins.
With love, Ms. Sam
P.S.- I will be so excited to see you on Tuesday August 31st for our first day of school. If your parents have any questions they can reach me at [email protected]
P.P.S- If you are able and willing to help with supplies for our classroom, visit our website under “Wish List” for all of the crazy supplies we will need to help us through the year! Yay! http://readinessrocks.weebly.com/
See you soon my new friend!
