Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s),
Welcome to First Grade at Thickwood Heights! I am delighted to be your child’s teacher this year, and I look forward to working closely with you and your family.
This will be a fun filled and exciting year for your child. You will be amazed at just how much your child will grow this year. Most likely, your child has had the seeds of reading and writing planted, and during first grade, those seeds will grow and blossom, making your child an accomplished reader and writer! You will see changes in your child's thinking, as he/she becomes familiar with abstract concepts and symbols. The change will be dramatic - just compare a tiny seed with a full-grown sunflower! That's the kind of growth you'll see this year!
This first week of school we will be focusing on getting to know each other, establishing rules and routines, and basic review. As your child is adjusting to being at school for full days, expect him/her to likely come home tired for the first little while.
One of the most important keys to a successful school year is communication between home and school. I will shortly be sending home more detailed information that will hopefully answer many of your questions. If it doesn’t and certainly in the meantime, if you have any questions please just ask!
Please complete and return the student profile and parent volunteer sheets sent home at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your cooperation.
I look forward to a wonderful year,
Miss Scott
