Welcome
to an exciting new school year at Ethan Allen!
My name is Mrs. Smith and I will be your child's teacher this year for
first grade GATE. I am really looking
forward to getting to know you and your child.
I have already heard so many nice things about the children who are
coming to first grade GATE.
I
would like to tell you a little about myself.
This is my 7th year teaching, and I absolutely love it! Working with gifted children is a very
rewarding job. Each day is exciting and
interesting for both my scholars and for me.
When I am not teaching I love spending time with my son Sebastian,
playing with my two dogs, and reading.
I
am so thankful to be a part of such an amazing school. If you are new to Ethan Allen you are in for
a treat. This school is filled with the
most wonderful students and teachers imaginable. Everyone works hard, and we also have many
fun celebrations and activities. One
nice thing about our class is that everyone is new to GATE and many of the
children are also new to our school, so everyone will be making lots of new
friends.
Since
you know your child better than anyone, I
would like to ask you to write me a short letter telling me a little about them. Does your child have a special talent or
interest? What do they love to do? What do you feel they will need the most help
with this year? Was there a particular
moment when you realized that your child was gifted? Is there anything important about your child
that I should know? I appreciate you
taking the time to write this letter.
You can email it to me, give it to me during GATE Jump Start, or your
child can bring it on the first day of
school, which is Tuesday, September 3.
Jump
Start is a great way to help your child feel comfortable with their new
class. It is a chance to meet me, take a
peek at our classroom, and meet some of their classmates. Jump Start
will be on Friday, August 30 at 11:00 in the Ethan Allen MPR. I hope to see
you there!
