Dear Parents,
My name is Charles
Kim, and I will be your child’s teacher this year. I am excited about the upcoming school year,
and I look forward to getting to know all of your children!
I have a few things
to talk about to start this school year.
First, I have attached a class schedule to this letter so that you will
know the basic layout of our day. On the schedule you will see our specials
listed. Please make sure your child
wears tennis shoes on Tuesday so that they will be able to participate in
PE. It would also be helpful if you
would send a water bottle with your child.
A clear disposable water bottle seems to work best.
After Labor Day,
the 2nd grade will start assigning homework and assessing behavior. Each Monday, a homework schedule and behavior
chart for the week will be sent home. The
materials for homework will not be provided until the day of the actual
assignment. I feel that it is important
to do a little bit each day rather than try to do it all in one night. Homework will consist of reading, spelling
and math each night. I feel that it is
your responsibility as a parent to look over your child’s homework and have
them correct visible mistakes. In doing
this, you are keeping them from reinforcing bad habits. It also keeps you well informed of what we
are doing in the classroom. I ask that
you initial the behavior portion of the homework sheet and their reading
log each night.
Our snack time
will be in the afternoon during our reading block. Please be sure to send a
healthy snack that is not cookies or candy. I am always looking for healthy
snack donations for students who do not bring a snack.
I will continue
with the tradition of Tuesday folders which will be provided for your
child. Each Tuesday they will bring home
a lot of important information for you to read along with our weekly class
newsletter. This newsletter will provide
you with class information so please make sure to read over it each week.
Please feel free
to e-mail me anytime as this is the best way to contact me. I will always be available to you when it
comes to the best interests of your child, and I believe that parent
participation and communication are key components to student achievement and
growth.
Thank you for your
time and have a wonderful day!
