Dear Families,
Many people say that parents
are their children's first and best teacher, and I certainly agree! Please take a few minutes to look over the questions below, and
provide any information that you think would help me think about
how to best support your student learn successfully in my classroom
and how to connect our classroom learning with learning at home.
Thanks for helping me learn about your student. I look forward to working with you and your family this year.
Sincerely,
[your name]
