Dear Second Grader,
Welcome to the Room 12 family! I hope you enjoyed your summer vacation. I am so excited to start a new school year. Are you excited to start learning again?
Although this year will start off differently than we are all used to, it will still be a year filled with fun and learning. You will enjoy all kinds of books and write fiction and non-fiction stories! You will also learn so many different math strategies that will help you become a mathematician! Finally, you will get to know about different kinds of community helpers and participate in fun science experiments!
Do you want to know a little bit about your teacher? Well, I knew that I wanted to be a teacher when I was four-years-old, can you believe it? I went to Kean University to make that dream come true. I have taught in Piscataway for several years and I have a sweet dog named Matilda, who I love! Lastly, reading is my favorite thing to do in my free time.
I know you will make good choices, be a great listener, work hard, and always try your best! We are going to have a terrific time together! Think about one hope or dream you have for 2nd grade. I can’t wait to hear what you want to learn this year!
I am so excited to see you,
Ms. Ferraz 😊
A note for parents,
Welcome to the 2020-2021 school year! We are going to have so much fun in second grade! If you haven’t already, please think of a quiet and distraction-free place in your home for your child to learn from. With this year starting off differently than usual, setting up a nice, personalized and quiet space will maximize your child's ability to connect with me and their new classmates through our video chats.
Throughout the month of September I will take time to get to know your child and connect with them as best as I can! Please reach out to me via email if there is anything specific that you'd like me to know about your child at: [email protected].
Your child will have opportunities to learn about and connect with their classmates this month. They will also become acclimated with using several new applications/websites. This school year may look very different, but I am here to assist you and your child in any way possible and I know we will have an amazing year, together! I look forward to meeting you at our virtual Back-to-School Night!
