Welcome Letter

Dear Families,

Welcome! I hope your child is excited to be starting school.  I am thrilled to be your child’s teacher this year and can’t wait to get to know you and your child.
First, let me tell you a bit about myself. My husband and I love the outdoors. We love to take our 1 year old daughter, Evelyn, camping! We also have an extremely large German Shepherd named Duke. I have been teaching for six years and have taught 4th grade, Kindergarten and First Grade. I love my profession and am looking forward to a great year. I am happy to announce that our classroom is fortunate enough to have a student teacher join us for the first half of the year! This is a great opportunity.
During the year, the curriculum goals and objectives will be met through the use of themes and hands-on activities whenever possible. Theme teaching provides me with an opportunity to integrate topics across the curriculum that directly relate to one another in a structured environment.
Two main focal points this year are to develop self-esteem and self-discipline in every child. By creating a warm, loving environment full of positive reinforcements, all children will feel important, comfortable and be able to shine!
Throughout the year, I will communicate to you in several ways. I value communication. After all, you are your child first teacher. I believe in working together for the success of the child. Please check your communication binder daily. One of the ways that I like to keep parents updated about our classroom is through a classroom blog/website. With your permission, I will post photos of the class working at centers, creating projects and having fun!  My goal is to update the blog monthly. You can check it out at http://mrsseegert.blogspot.com/. You can also follow me on Twitter @seegertsclass for regular classroom updates!
Please remember that my job is to work with you and your child to enhance their learning!  I want your child to enjoy school and you to feel welcome in my classroom!  If you ever have any questions or concerns please contact me! E-mail is the best way to communicate with me.  I hope to see you at Open House!

Sincerely,

Tara Seegert
