Welcome. I am Cheryl Hutson. This is my 41st year of teaching. I taught 18 years of Kindergarten between Frisco and Farmersville. I taught First grade 2 years in McKinney. This is my 21st year of teaching first grade in Celina. My husband is a High School coach and teacher at Celina High School. I have three daughters, 5 grandchildren and three son-in-laws. I am originally from Lyons, New York. I am a college graduate from the University of North Texas.
My goal is for ALL my students to experience success and learn as much as possible. Every student can learn and will learn in my class. I celebrate everyone’s differences as an asset and hope to instill a LOVE for learning, not only at school but also forever in life. This will be a wonderful year full of learning and fun, not to mention, an incredible year of change. You will be amazed as you watch your child bloom as a friend, reader, writer, mathematician, scientist, thinker, and so much more!
When I am not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I love going to sporting events and swimming at our pool with my grandchildren.
I look forward to a great year at Martin Elementary! We do have the best kids and I am so fortunate to get to teach yours! Thank you in advance for trusting me with your most precious possession. I promise to treat your child the way I want my child to be treated. I am not perfect, but I will do my best to make this an amazing year!!!
Love,
Cheryl Hutson
Meet the Teacher will be on Monday, August 11th from 5:30-7:00pm.
A - L - 5:30 - 6:15 p.m.
M - Z - 6:15 - 7:00 p.m.
I can't wait to meet you and your child on Monday, August 11th.
The majority of our supplies will be shared so labeling items before Meet the Teacher is not necessary. There will be more information on supplies when you arrive.
📚 🚌 How your child is getting home on the first day of school as well as information regarding regular dismissal is essential. Be sure to fill out the student information form before leaving for the evening and turn it into me. 🎒 🏫
Lastly, distribute your child's supplies in the designated areas around the classroom.
What to do before Meet The Teacher: Get ready for the best year EVER!
This year our class will be using ClassDoJo to help us stay in constant communication. I like to send a weekly story with pictures for you to see what has happened in class for the week. Parent accounts can be set up with a Parent Code or with an email invitation. Please follow the instructions to join our class.
Please be sure to check your child's Daily Folder each day. This will be where daily notes, Fluency phrases, and other information will be sent home. This is also where you will send notes to school.
Thursday Folders
Please be sure to check their Thursday Folders every week. There will be graded papers along with any other important documents or flyers that need to go home.
CLASS DAILY SCHEDULE
Our students attend a different specials class each day for 50 minutes. Students need to wear sneakers on P.E. days.
