Dear First Grader,
Hello! My name is Mrs. Talarick and I am soexcited to be your teacher this year!
I hope you are enjoying your summer! Mine has been filled with an abundance of joy and laughter as I’ve gotten to watch my little girl grow. Her name is Tieghan, but we usually just call her Tiegs. Here is a picture of her with me and Mr. Talarick on our vacation this summer. We went to Long Beach Island, and had the most wonderful time! Tieghan loved the beach, so we spent long days digging in the sand and searching for seashells.
I have most of your supplies prepared for you in Room 105. I have added a few additional items below that will help make your transition back to school more smooth. Please be sure you bring the items below on your first day of school.
-
A small (4x6 or similar size) picture of you and your family to be kept in the classroom
-
Your backpack
-
A water bottle and snack each day. Your snack should be nut free. Only water during snack please (juice can spill and get messy)
-
A pair of comfortable high quality headphones. Earbuds tend to be uncomfortable for the kids. Headphones will most likely need to be replaced mid year.
-
A BIG SMILE for your teacher!
This year’s Open House event will be held at Toll Gate on August 29th at 2:15. I hope you can make it. You will be able to meet me and tour our classroom. We will have a fun scavenger hunt to help you find important things around our room. If you cannot make it, that is absolutely okay! I will be eagerly awaiting to meet you on the first day. Before then, spend some time with your parent or guardian to read about everything you need to know about first grade.
I made these slides to help you get to know me a bit more before our first day. It is so important to me to know my students as best as I can before we come together as a classroom family. Please have a parent or guardian complete this survey to share all about you!
I can’t wait to be your teacher this year! See you soon!
Lots of love,
Mrs. Talarick
