Dear First Grader,

  My name is Mrs. Beaman and I am so excited to be your teacher this school year. Mrs. Ringgold is also a paraprofessional in our class! We are going to do so many fun things, while we read fantastic stories, learn lots of math, science, and more! I hope that you have had a fabulous summer and I cannot wait to hear all about the things that you have been able to do over your break. I am so excited to share my love of learning and this amazing journey of first grade with you. We are going to have a GREAT time together!

Some important things for your grown-ups:

- Meet the Teacher/Peek at Your Seat will also be held in August (more information

to come.)

- Student supply list is attached.

- Words you can practice with your child are attached.

- Class Dojo Sign up information: This is how I send weekly information and important messages home. You are able to contact me with any questions and can send me messages too! https://www.classdojo.com/ul/p/addKid?target=class&class=CPGY79C

I can't wait to meet you!

Love,

Mrs. Beaman
