Finally, a Welcome Back post! :)

I am beyond excited to welcome a new batch of 1st graders to room 4! We have really hit the ground running in here too. I have been a busy bee getting to know the students and starting our benchmark assessments. Here are a few helpful tips to make this year a success for your 1st grader:
* Stay in the know. Please check your child's backpack each evening, especially their Take Home Folder for important information. I will send home curriculum guides about every three weeks to help parents stay current on curriculum goals. It is also help to follow my blog or Twitter account (@MrsQuimby1st) to stay up to date.
* Ask questions. Please feel free to email, twitter message, write a note or call if you have any questions. It's also fun to engage your child in conversations each night about what we did at school. Hopefully, you get more than me from my child who always responds, "recess!" :)

I am super excited to be your child's teacher & for another great year in Room 4!
