Dear Parents,
Welcome back to school!
During our first week, we will focus on building our classroom community, establishing daily routines, creating our class agreements, and going over safety rules. We will also begin our weekly lesson schedules.
To prepare the students for "The Five Great Lessons," I will introduce various science experiments and reading materials. The First Great Lesson will be presented during this initial week.
Please check the August newsletter posted on my teacher page for more details about this upcoming impressionist whole group lesson.
Reminders:
Parent Orientation: Wednesday, August 12, 2026 @ 6:30pm in my classroom (room 107). Please review the parent orientation document as I will just briefly hit on each topic. I will also explain presentations and show you examples from previous students, so you know what to expect.
PTO Ice Cream Social: Saturday, August 15, 2026 @ 8:30am. This is such a fun event, and the children really enjoy meeting new friends and seeing old ones. It will take place in the outdoor area, right outside the library.
Enrichments Registration: Tuesday, August 18, 2026, opens at 7pm.
Enrichment Fair: All enrichment teachers will explain their enrichments the morning of Friday, August 16, 2026.
I will be doing 2 enrichments. Below is a description of each. Please reach out to me with any questions.
Little Core Explorers: Mondays Grades 1-3
"I am so excited to welcome your children to our after-school Pilates class, where we will discover just how strong, capable, and resilient our bodies can be. In this program, students will learn the fundamentals of fitness through structured mat exercises, balance games, and stretching routines designed to build core strength and flexibility. My goal is to guide your child in developing healthy movement habits, proper posture, and body awareness that will boost their confidence both in sports and in everyday life. Watching young movers realize their own physical strength and potential is incredibly inspiring, and I cannot wait to help your child grow stronger and more confident with every single session!"
The Zine Scene: Tuesdays Grades 1-3
" Students will explore the creative world of zine-making by learning how to design, write, illustrate, and self-publish their own miniature magazines. Using simple folding techniques and everyday materials, they will create original stories, artwork, and collages while developing literacy, creativity, and fine motor skills. Students will also experience the excitement of reproducing and sharing their finished zines with classmates and family, building confidence as young authors and artists who discover the value of expressing their own unique ideas."
Have a wonderful weekend!
Ms. Molly
