Welcome to Mrs. Atkinson’s Class!
Dear First Grade Families,
Welcome to First Grade! I am so excited to be teaching First Grade this year at Seldens Landing. It is a wonderful school and I know that we are going to have a terrific school year together. I am looking forward to getting to know your child and sharing my love of learning with him or her. My goals for the year are to provide a positive learning environment for the children and to ensure success for every student.
We are going to learn about many interesting topics this year. We will learn about famous Americans, past and present, and our cultures and traditions. We will learn about plants, animals, habitats, and the seasons. We will learn about adding and subtracting, patterns, geometry, fractions and place value. You will read and write a lot!
During our Back to School Night I will discuss at length information about our classroom, including policies, procedures, expectations, etc. However, the following information will be helpful as we get ready to begin our first week of school:
- Students should arrive between 7:40 – 8:00
- Students will be dismissed at 2:45
- Send in a small, healthy snack every day. Your child can bring a reusable water bottle with their name on it to keep in the classroom. Juice and other beverages can only be consumed at lunch.
- Make sure your child is wearing close-toed sneakers daily in order to safely use the playground equipment and participate in P.E.
- Confirm with me at the Open House how your child will be getting home or email me to let me know if you are unable to attend
It is important to me to keep the lines of communication open between us. Any time that you have concerns please feel free to contact me at Seldens Landing, (571) 252-2260, or email me at Laura.R.Atkinson@lcps.org.
I look forward to meeting you at Open House, Back to School Night, or on the first day of school!
Sincerely,
Laura Atkinson
