Hello all!
I cannot wait to see everyone
tomorrow morning for the first day of 2nd grade! I hope this email
finds your family well and your student ready to start an awesome year. This
email will be a little lengthy, but please take time to glance through it all,
as some of it pertains to the first week of school (even the first day!).
Family Photo
I am copying the information
about Family Photos into this email 😊 * In your
folder there was a paper asking for a family photo the first week of school. I
like to build our classroom community from the very beginning by displaying
these photos. As a friendly reminder, I am asking for 4x6 framed photo of your
family. You will get these back at the end of the year. I cannot wait to learn
more about your child and your family!
Seesaw
In your student information
packet, there is a QR code to sign up for an app called Seesaw. We will use
Seesaw as an online portfolio, and students will share work with you through
the app throughout the year. Please join your child’s account using the QR
code. If you need further instruction, please let me know!
Remind
Another app I use frequently
is Remind. I added each parent to the class last week, but please let me know
if this didn’t work for your account. I use this app frequently to communicate
with parents, and want to make sure it is fully functioning.
Get the Scoop
Many of you have already
taken the opportunity to sign up for a Get the Scoop time through the Google
Sheet. Again, if this link does not work, or you cannot gain access, please
just email me with what time you would like. If you have not signed up for a
time, please do that soon. I am more than willing to coordinate with other
teachers if your student has a sibling in another class. Also, please let me
know if you will not be able to attend that evening. Here is the link to sign
up: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1a5eUbna42hITDZD4-FkYrYUSYMhdV2jvDlq16Mhr1ao/edit?usp=sharing
I apologize again for
misplacing the sign-up sheet!
Snack
I am copying the information
about snack from the previous email. I am doing so because it is okay for you
to send snack with your student tomorrow!
*In our classroom, I do an
“open” snack policy. This means students are able to eat and enjoy snack during
any work time throughout the day. We will build up to being “responsible snack
eaters” throughout the first week, but you are more than welcome to send snack
with your student on the first day of school. I do ask that you refrain from
sending candy or foods that can create messes as a snack. Students are also
more than welcome to bring water bottles to leave at their desk. Please only send
water bottles containing water to avoid sticky messes!
Friday Folders
I am also copying the
information about Friday Folder volunteers again in this email. Please email me
if you are available! * One thing I know I will need help with each week is
stuffing Friday Folders. If you are interested in volunteering your time,
please let me know when you are available, and, if applicable, what you would
like to help with!
I am looking forward to a
great year! Please contact me with any questions (klister@cpsk12.org). This email will also
be available on my blog!
Thanks!
