I am thrilled to be your teacher this year! I hope your summer was filled with lots of fun and activities. Now that it is coming to an end, I am at school preparing our classroom and getting it ready for a terrific year.

We have many wonderful days ahead filled with learning and fun. Your brains will grow a lot this year! You will probably make a few mistakes along the way but guess what, that shows you are trying! It is ok to make a mistake! Mistakes help us learn. The most important part is to not give up and just try again! Since we will be spending a lot of time together, it is important to remember we are a “Classroom Family”. We must treat each other with kindness and respect, work together and help one another.

I look forward to hearing all about you, but first, let me tell you a little bit about myself. I have been teaching for eight years, but in between I stayed home for a few years to take care of my three children, Meagan, Marissa and Mikey. I also have an adorable Chocolate Labrador, Mack. He is a bit mischievous, so I will probably have a funny story or two to share with you. Here is a little more about me...

My Favorite Things:

Color: Turquoise (reminds me of the ocean)
Season: Summer
Sweet Treat: Chocolate covered pretzels

I cannot wait to meet you next week and hear all about YOUR Favorite Things! Enjoy the rest of your summer!

Love,
Ms. Ackerman
