Welcome to First Grade!
I hope you were able to get my postcard in the mail. I really am excited to meet all of my new students. I hope that we will be able to build strong relationships with each other, with our classroom family and our school family. You are now an Ellis Falcon and we believe in our motto and hope you will too, "I am responsible and always learning." This applies to the teachers as well as each student. As a teacher I look forward to the many learning opportunities I gain from teaching first graders and the insight I can get from the parents. I look forward to meeting and hearing from all parents. This year there will be a few different ways to communicate with me. The best way to contact me will be through e-mail. My address is burrelma@sd25.us. You are always welcome to call at the school 237-4742, just know I can only talk before and after school usually. Notes sent in the homework folders or with a student are great too, but again this way they might get dropped or lost to and from school. You are also welcome to post a comment on this blog. I am always looking for suggestions and ways to improve my teaching, so feel free to leave feedback.
Most information for Ellis will be sent and posted from Infinite Campus. Please make sure you utilize this amazing resource that will hold ALL important dates, events, and REPORT CARDS. If you need help accessing this contact our office staff. I will be posting on this Blog at least once a month. I will try and give an overview of the units and themes we are learning about that month. Please watch for more detailed information weekly in our Classroom Newsletter. Our Classsroom blog will be a great tool for educational information. I have web addresses posted that I encourage each student to go to and play the fun educational games at home. I also plan on posting great apps found on Ipads to utilize on the go. The blog will also have links to the weekly spelling words.
Students start school on Wednesday, August 28. Please make sure to send supplies with your child to school on the first day, and let them know how they will be getting home. We will have transportation forms to fill out that morning to make sure we get each child home safe, so be sure to stop by the classroom. If you are not able to stop by just make sure your child has a note about how they are getting home. If you would like an older child to pick up your first grader they need to meet outside. Thanks for being patient these first few days. More information will be coming soon. Our Back-To-School Night is September 5th. I hope to see you there!
