My Dearest 4th graders,
I am honored to be your teacher this year. I truly consider it a privilege to be a part of your life. I already love you and that will remain true everyday of our school year and everyday beyond because once you're my student, you're always my student. My hope for this year is that we learn and grow together. I have a few things to teach you, but I also know that I will learn a few things from you. I want you to know that I'm here to support you when life gets hard, and I'm here to cheer you on when life goes well. I want you to feel safe in our classroom and with our class family. I want you to take risks and show us the real you. I promise to bring you the best that I have each day, and I can't wait to see the best that you can be!
Love, Ms. Carlisi
