Welcome!
Welcome to another school year! I am very happy to have your child in my classroom. I want to help your child have a wonderful year. To accomplish this, I think parent-teacher communication is crucial. I invite you to be part of our class. Your child needs to know that we are on the same team. During the next few days, we will review the rules of discipline and conduct that must be followed in class. This is the main reason why I would love to meet you personally. I feel lucky because I love teaching and I would love to meet you.

¡Bienvenidos a otro año escolar! Yo estoy muy contenta de tener a su hijo(a) en mi clase. Quiero ayudar a su hijo(a) a tener un año maravilloso. Para lograr esto, pienso que la comunicación entre padres y maestra es crucial. Los invito a ser parte de nuestra clase. Su hijo(a) tiene que saber que estamos en el mismo equipo. Durante los próximos días estaremos repasando las reglas de disciplina y conducta que deberán seguirse en la clase. Esta es la razón principal por la cual me encantaría conocerlos personalmente. Me siento afortunada porque me encanta enseñar, y me encantaría conocerlos.
