It is a pleasure to have your child in my class this year! I am a firm believer in keeping a strong, open line of communication between home and school. You know your child better than anyone else in the world therefore I would love your help as I start the year with a glimpse of who your child really is. What makes him or her so amazing? What does he or she struggle with? What are his or her hobbies or special talents? What are some of your family traditions? What is your role in the community? 

This information will give me a deeper understanding of who your child is and how I can best accommodate them in our second home for the year. For example, if I know that one student loves to draw, I might be able to use their talents on a class project. If I know that another student is terrified of thunderstorms, I can be sensitive of fears. Of course, I will learn a lot about your child from our time together, but why wait? 

Thank you for taking the time to share some information about your child and your family!
