July - 2013
Dear Families,
It
is that time of year again when I begin to get all excited because the stores
are filled with school supplies! You
just can’t beat the smell of new crayons and backpacks. For those of you who are returning – welcome back! For those of you who do not know me, my name
is Gina Marchi, and I want to welcome you to 1-2 DEEP. I am looking forward to meeting all of you in
August.
The
theme for this year will be “This Land is Your Land.” The overall concept for our classroom will be
Harmony. We will create a peaceful classroom
environment as we study harmony in our community and in nature. This year students
will create curiosity boxes, and also make a Beanie Baby Animal Habitat. We
have plenty of other exciting study trips and activities planned. We are asking
each child to write a sentence on the paper provided to tell us about something
“Fun in the Sun” you did this summer. It
would be really great if you could also send in a picture of your child wearing
sunglasses.
Click here and you will find an updated list of supplies with instructions for labeling the items. Students love to have some
special items in their boxes. If your
child wants a few “fancy” pencils or special erasers of their own, these items
may be placed in his or her school box as well.
First Graders and second graders new to DEEP may also want to purchase a
flash drive. These would be helpful for
saving our published writing.
I
am excited to see everyone on the first day of school and at Open House on
August 29th! There will be a
meeting for first grade parents and anyone new to DEEP at 5:30-6:00 in our
classroom before Open House begins at 6:00.
If you have questions before school starts, please do not hesitate to
call me or email me. You may reach me in the following ways:
