Good Afternoon First Grade Families!
Happy New Year to All!
I can't thank you enough for your children's drawings, cards, gifts and well wishes this Holiday Season!
I am truly blessed :)
I am looking forward to seeing everyone on Monday morning! The classroom is all set and so am I! We are starting the new year with some students in a new pod and all students in new seats :) *I will send the new pod lists as an attachment :)
Exciting news; we have a student teacher from Hope College who will be joining us on January 25. Colton has great references and after a fun Zoom meeting, he seems like a great fit for our classroom :) Our class is a perfect place for a soon-to-be teacher to learn. We have grown so much as a group. I can't wait for him to meet 'your kids' and let the magic begin!
