 * Dear Families,**
 * Welcome back to school! I hope your first week of school went as well at home as it did in the classroom. We have a wonderful group of smart and interesting grade twos in our class this year. We are all very excited about all of the fun things we have been doing!**
 * Now that we’re starting to settle in, I wanted to get in touch with you and share some information.**


 * About Me**
 * I am very excited to be joining your child in grade two this September! I am new to ..., but visited often last year as a “supply” teacher. Many of your children remember me from that. Here’s an interesting fact: in addition to my teaching background, I have studied American Sign Language (ASL). We will be using ASL in our classroom sometimes, so don’t be surprised if your child talks with his or her hands more than ever before this year!**


 * About Our Class**
 * We have 20 students at the moment, and I don’t expect that number to change very much. We have students from around the world, and I am very excited to get to know more about each child’s heritage and background. Our classroom culture is built on respect and responsibility. We talk about these two words a lot in 2B.**

 * If you ever have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call or send a note or drop in. You can reach me at the school phone number, which is ..... I am always happy to talk to the families of my students. You are the most important people in my students’ lives! Let’s work together to make sure your child gets everything he or she needs to be successful this year!**
