Dear Parent(s) or Grandparent(s),
It is hard to believe another school year is already upon us. We are so thrilled to have your son/daughter or grandson/grandaughter in our class this year. We have an exciting school year planned with lots to learn.
This year we will be doing things a little bit differently to mazimize student learning. Mrs. Penny will be pulling the four and five year olds out for individualized instruction which will allow Mrs. Lea small group time with the three year olds. We are very happy about this since it will give us both smaller groups of students to work with. In addition, we are planning on have an assistant for two hours a day. Our assistant will be Mrs. Chesney. Mrs Chesney has been with us for two years and is wonderful with children. We are so excited to have her helping us this year!
We are looking forward to a wonderful year with you and your son/daughter or grandson/grandaughter.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Bea, Director
Mrs Penny, Teacher
Mrs. Lea, Teacher
Mrs. Chesney, Teacher,
Mrs. Lisa, Teacher
Mrs. Amanda, Teacher
