Letter of Introduction

Hello and welcome to first edition of "The Peterson Pilot!" 


My name is Angela Peterson and I am very excited about our upcoming semester!  I have been fortunate enough to grow up in Idaho and love the great outdoors!  I love to sing and you will find your child will learn a lot of songs when learning new concepts in class.  I am a fun loving person who is patient and kind.  My philosophy is one should never stop learning, no matter their age.  So, while I teach your children what I know, I will also be learning so I can grow!

This blog is available for you to receive information about upcoming lessons and activities your child will be participating in.  Please check each week so you are up to date on what we are doing inside the classroom.  I hope to include art and pictures of your children at work and play.  I realize pictures can be a sensitive matter and I will be sending home a permission slip for you to complete before I post any pictures of your child.

My classroom expectations are very simple.  We are to treat one another with respect and kindness.  Together, we will create and maintain an environment for learning. There will be individual and group activities daily so children can participate in a team environment.  I enjoy interactive learning and encourage children to learn to make decisions and problem solve on their own.  Since this is a learning environment, I ask that any toys, cell phones, hand held game systems etc are left at home or remain in back packs so we will not be distracted from our objective.  Should I find any of these items have made their way into our classroom I will remove the item to be returned at the end of the day.  

Since children learn from all avenues in their lives, I feel it is important that we as adults work as a team to provide the best education possible for your children. That being said, I plan to give you an opportunity to participate in your child's learning from home.  Once a month I will include fun activities for you to complete with your child. One example of the type of activity you will be doing is creating an "All about Me" poster. This is your chance to let your child shine! You can include art, family pictures and anything that rings true for your child.  I will be decorating our classroom with the completed posters. 

I feel maintaining open communication is essential for a successful semester.  I am always available for questions, please contact me anytime!  You can reach me at 208-999-5555.


Also, I am always looking for volunteers to help with classroom projects.  If you are interested in volunteering, please let me know!  

I look forward to meeting each of you and want to thank you in advance for trusting me with your most treasured possessions...your children!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Angela Peterson
