August 2010Dear Second Grade Families,
Welcome to the start of the 2010-2011 school year. I am delighted to be your child’s second grade teacher this year. Working together we can make this a successful, fun and rewarding year for your child.
This is my ninth year teaching and eighth year at Conway. My background is both in general education and special education. I hold a master’s degree in Reading and Literacy and I am a National Board Certified Teacher. Gardening, traveling, riding horses, walking, and reading are my favorite hobbies. My daughter and I enjoyed our first trip to Hawaii and camping with dogs this summer.
This year’s Back-to-School Parade and Open House are on Tuesday, August 31st. I would like to welcome your extended family to our classroom so that we have a chance to meet before school starts. Students may bring store-bought school supplies to Open House, or on the first day of school (those backpacks can get full). If you purchased a School Supply Box, it will be in the classroom during Open House. Because we work hard to build a wonderful classroom community, several items will be collected and shared out to the group throughout the year. These include: pencils, erasers, rulers, glue, Post-It notes, baby wipes and tissues. Students keep individual crayons, markers and colored pencils in their pencil boxes.
I have included an optional information sheet for you to complete about your child. Because you know your child best, any information you would like to share will help me understand him/her quickly. Please return it to me at Open House or on the first day of school. I welcome family and community volunteers in our classroom after students have settled into the classroom routine (usually October/November). A volunteer sign up sheet is included to give you an idea of the ways families can support our classroom learning. If you would like to contact me before school starts or to set up a time to meet during the week of August 24-27, my phone number is 445-5785 and e-mail is .
Warmly,
Julie DeBellis
