Introduction

Dear Parents/Guardians:

I would like to welcome you and your child to the start of the new school year and to fourth grade! We are going to have a very busy and productive year filled with exciting learning activities and school events.

It is my belief that positive interaction between teacher and parent strengthens the feeling of support all children need for success in school. My goal is to create an atmosphere of open communication regarding your child's progress and behavior in both home and school. Please feel free to email, or set up an appointment with me with any questions or concerns that you have.

During the year I work with the students so they become responsible and create an atmosphere in which they know and respect each other. Creating a positive classroom environment will help the students connect, learn, discover, and reflect on their learning. Throughout the year we will be working on various projects, studying different concepts, and learning many exciting things. In our six PYP units we study about: nutrition, immigration, geography, leaders throughout history, natural resources and our Earth, and the Opera. I am confident that this year will be a wonderful learning and growing experience for us all. By working together we will be able to better meet the needs of your child.

With warmest regards, Anamaria Recio recioa@asf.edu.mx
