Welcome to 1st Grade!
Dear 1st Grade Parents,
Greetings and a warm welcome to W. S. Ryan! My name is Monica Sallee, and I am thrilled to be your child's 1st-grade teacher for this academic year. I want to express my gratitude for entrusting me with the privilege of being a part of your child's educational journey.
I am eager to create a fun, supportive, and engaging classroom environment where your child can flourish academically, socially, and emotionally. In 1st grade, we will embark on an exciting adventure of learning and discovery. Together, we will explore the wonders of reading, writing, mathematics, science, and more, all while fostering a love for learning that will last a lifetime.
As an educator, I am committed to recognizing and nurturing each child's unique strengths and talents. I believe that a strong partnership between parents and teachers is essential for your child's success. I encourage open communication and collaboration, and I am always here to listen to your thoughts, concerns, and insights about your child's progress.
Throughout the school year, I will strive to create a positive and inclusive classroom community, where all students feel valued, respected, and supported. We will learn to work together, share ideas, and embrace differences, building essential social skills and friendships along the way.
To ensure that you are actively involved in your child's learning journey, I will be regularly updating you on classroom activities, projects, behavior, pictures, and upcoming events on class dojo. Please feel free to reach out to me anytime you have questions or simply want to know how your child is doing.
Bring your school supplies the 1st day of school. Also, please fill out this document about how your child will get home from school and include the car tag number, bus number, daycare name, or which door you would like for them to exit for walking home. Don’t forget to tell me your child’s name. I would love for you to email me your favorite picture of them we can use in the classroom.
