Dear Parents,
I hope that you had a great Fall Break! The kids were eager to share about their week off, but glad to be back with their school friends.
Conference Letters go home tomorrow, Wednesday, October 3rd. Please return ASAP. I will have a special treat for all those who return their form by Friday, October 5th. I can’t wait to meet with you and tell you about your child’s progress this year. I am the proud mama teacher of 21 amazing first graders! You will be proud of them too! Report cards will be given to you at your child’s conference.
October is going to be a super BUSY month! We have lots of events in and outside of the classroom this month. Lots of learning activities and fun family activities for you and your children!
Thanks for all you do at home that reinforces what I do at school! You ROCK!
Have a great first week of October!
Fran McMath
