Dear first grader and family,

Hi, I am Mrs. Allen and I am very excited to be your first grade teacher! It will be a year full of fun, laughter, learning, and lots of adventure!


I thought you might like to know a little bit about me.  I am married to Mr. Allen and we have a very cute pet rabbit named Truman. This summer I discovered that I love skydiving! It felt like I was flying!

I have taught in Gridley for 20 years.  This is my second year teaching first grade.  I love first grade, it's quite an adventure! I have taught reading intervention for 8 years and second grade for ten years at Wilson Elementary.  I love teaching! It is my mission to instill a love of learning in all my students.  I teach with passion to help  my students develop a desire to become life long-learners. I look forward to a great year together!

I hope you are all having a wonderful beginning to your summer vacation.  I have been learning exciting new uses for our class iPads. Your new second grade teachers are also discovering interesting and fun ways for you to use iPads and Chromebooks to share your knowledge. You will LOVE second grade!
 I have created a class padlet (a website that allows you to write on a virtual post-it note) for you to share your summertime fun. Double click on the wall and start typing. With your parent's permission, you may also add a picture.

Water!

Here is an example of a pull top water bottle.
I wanted parents to know that students may bring water bottles to school for use in our classroom.  Our drinking fountains are in the hallway and children lose valuable class time when they need to leave the classroom to get a drink of water.  An easy solution to this is to allow water bottles in the classroom.  Water bottles need to have a pull top and be filled with water only.  Pull top bottles are less likely to spill. You may still pack juice in your child's lunch, but it's water only in the classroom. Please make sure to write your child's name on their bottle.
