Welcome to 1st grade 2018-2019!

Dear Families,

Welcome to 1^st grade! I am very excited to be your child’s teacher this year. As most of you know, this will be my first year at EMES. I am looking forward to getting to know all of you and the rest of the community! Previously, I taught 1^st and 2^nd grade at Fletcher Elementary School. I graduated from the University of Vermont in 2017 with a Bachelor’s in Elementary Education and Special Education. I am from upstate New York, and I currently live in Burlington. I love the beach, dogs (I hope to get one soon), and exploring new places in Vermont. I am so excited for this year at East Montpelier!

Before we start the school year, I wanted to give you some information about our classroom. Our classroom number is 133, across from Mrs. Zeilenga’s room. For this school year, I am asking that you provide your child with the following materials. If this is difficult please let me know.

·       Colored Pencils (12 or 24 pack is fine)

·       One box of tissues

·       One notebook (composition with ~100 pages)

·       Clorox/Lysol wipes

I will send out a copy of our daily schedule the first week of school and post it on our classroom website. Communication is important to me. I am the most responsive to email. Please email me at jfecura@u32.org. If there is ever an emergency or change in end of day plans, please call the office. To keep up with our daily 1^st grade adventures, you may follow me on twitter, @msfecurasclass – I try to tweet frequently to show the community what we are learning.

Enjoy the rest of your summer! I am so excited to begin learning with your first graders! It is going to be an amazing year!

                                               

                                                            Best,

                                                            Jessica Fecura
