Dear Families,
What an
exciting start to this school year! I am so happy to be sharing this school
year with you and your child. I will spend the first week in our new space teaching and reinforcing rules and procedures of our classroom so that learning
will progress smoothly. We are in a unique spot for a bit so I want to spend
some time acclimating to our new space! Hopefully by January we will be in a
real classroom!
I hope
that together we can help your child have a successful Kindergarten experience!
With the support of students and families, we will create a classroom
environment that will recognize and respect individuality. To support each
student’s learning, I will create a classroom that offers a variety of
meaningful teaching styles so that each child will have the opportunity to
succeed. The children will grow and learn at their own rate. I invite you to
play an active role in your child’s education by talking with your child each
day about their learning and encourage you to read for at least 15 minutes a
day with your child.
Here
is a little info about me! I graduated from Central Washington University with
my bachelors in Elementary Education and my minor in Early Childhood Education.
I come to Evergreen from Lake View Elementary where I taught Kindergarten. I
have two kiddos of my own, my son is a second grader and my daughter is a
kindergartener at Lake View! So this year I get the unique perspective of
being a kinder teacher and parent. I also love to sing and dance so get ready
for some home performances! J
Communication is key in my
classroom! Please always feel free to
email me at Judd@auburn.wednet.edu if you have any questions or concerns.
Snack:
We will have an afternoon snack daily.
Please pack a healthy snack with your child each day. The snack should be something they are able
to open independently. If you want your child to receive
snack from me please help
our snack supply by sending .a snack that is easy to pass out (Goldfish,
Cheese-Its, Animal Crackers, etc).
Birthdays: Birthdays are special days and we love celebrating them! In an effort
to encourage and promote healthy lifestyles we encourage you to send healthy
birthday treat alternatives when celebrating your child's special day! If you
want to send a treat with your child please make sure you send enough for all
students.
Show and Share: Your child will have a specific day of the week
where they will be able to bring an item (or share about a specific event) to
school for "Show and Share". Please mark your calendar and help your
child remember their day as there will not be make up days if they forgot to
bring an item. We will begin “Show
and Share”
min October!
Teacher Website: This might be my favorite thing this year! I will
be updating my website frequently with pictures and tid bits about what is
going on in our classroom! I have it set up so you can receive updates that I
post to your email, text alert communications, online volunteer sign ups and
more! I also have a page where I will be uploading important documents that you
can print at home if they get misplaced from school to home! :)
Just
remember that my door is always open and we will work together throughout the
year to ensure a successful year for your child. Let the fun-filled learning begin!
Sincerely,
Jessica
