I have been given the most exciting opportunity… moving to FIRST GRADE next year! As you know, I so enjoy this special group of children. I would love to keep our class together and continue working with your children right where we are leaving off for summer. Staying with one teacher for two grade levels is known as LOOPING and has many educational benefits. First and foremost, there is no loss of time while assessing student levels. We will hit the ground running in August with new literature groups, writers workshops, and math teams. Also, there is no time wasted getting to know new teacher routines, expectations, and new personalities. Our class is a well oiled machine, and I know all of the kids’ academic strengths and challenges. I hope our class chooses to stay together, however, if you feel that your child would benefit from a fresh start with another of the first grade teachers, that is absolutely fine, as well. Please returned the signed note sent home today right away.
Also, I sent home some practice workbooks and journals with your children for them to have something to work on this summer. I will also offer other summer challenges and incentives to maintain their new skills. Comments are closed.
