Dear Parents,
I hope everyone had a wonderful week. We
had another busy week here at Summit! The weather has been wonderful, hasn’t
it? How can you be anything but cheery when you get to play outside in
sunny, cloudless days?
We’ve spent the first several weeks of
school building community in our classroom. We have worked hard to create
an environment where everyone feels safe to be themselves. This feeling
of well-being will enhance learning. I’m so proud of our
students for accepting each other, being patient, and showing kindness when we
sometimes don’t feel like it! Congratulations, Class! We are
becoming a family!
Parents,
do you enjoying reading to your children? Students, do you enjoy being
read to? I would like to invite any parents, older siblings,
grandparents, relatives, or other special people to surprise your child by
being a “Mystery Reader” this year in our classroom. Students LOVE
having their family, friends, and relatives visit our classroom to share in our
learning by reading a favorite story aloud to our class. Mystery
Readers will visit us on Fridays around 12:40 p.m. each week. Readers are
asked to bring a book to read or read a teacher-chosen book from our classroom library.
There are many open dates to choose from throughout the year. You can
either sign up here: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C054EA8A92CA20-mystery
or send your top three choices in a “top secret” envelope to school with
your child. I will get back to you as soon as I can to confirm your
official Mystery Reader date. Remember, you are a mystery to the class, so try not to
tell your child when you will be coming! Please see me or drop me a
“secret” note if you
have any
further questions.
Have
a hip-happenin’ weekend!
Working Together,
Ms. Tammy Myers
