"Welcome to First grade 2025-2026! I am thrilled to meet each of you and start this exciting journey together. Our classroom will be a place where curiosity, creativity, and kindness thrive. We'll explore new ideas, make new friends, and have lots of fun along the way. 

In our classroom, we'll work together to build a community that values respect, empathy and teamwork. 

I am looking forward to working with you and your child this year. Let's get started on this adventure together!"

Tell me, and I'll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me, and I'll understand.- Proverb
