Welcome to First Grade

“Children learn as they play. Most importantly, in play children learn how to learn.” – O. Fred Donaldson

Dear High Flyer Families,

Welcome to our first grade classroom where we work to "Always do our best!" My goal is to provide a positive and well-managed classroom that will benefit all children academically, foster a community of learners, and support each child during the first grade experience. My educational philosophy is that every child can learn. Although there may be differences in how children learn, it is my responsibility to draw out and encourage the best in every child.

I am committed to providing an exceptional learning environment that encourages and nurtures the best in an atmosphere that is safe, loving and kind. Working as a team will be necessary to ensure that your child meets and/or exceeds the academic performance standards throughout his/her first grade experience. In order to ensure proper development of your child, communication will be very important. Feel free to contact me before or after school by phone or email If you have any questions or concerns.

I am honored to be selected as your child's teacher and will work to provide your child with an outstanding academic learning experience. Your child will be provided with an academic foundation that will encourage working to do his/her best and instill a desire to a be life-long learner.

I look forward to working with all of you! It is going to be a successful

“High Flying” year! The Sky is the Limit!

Kindest regards,

Dori Flynn
