Dear Soon-to-be First Grader,

     My name is Mrs. Yablon and I am so excited to be your first grade teacher this year!  We are going to have a blast learning and having fun.  

     A little bit about me:  I taught kindergarten for nine years and I was a Student Services Coordinator for one year.  I taught first grade last year and loved it!  I have a fantastic husband who brightens my days.  I have two wonderful teenage boys.  Michael Bailey just graduated high school and Triston will be a junior.  I am an avid runner.  Running is my favorite thing to do after a busy day!  I also love animals.  We have a classroom pet!  Bubbles is our bearded dragon.  He is so sweet!  I can't wait for you to meet him!

     I am looking forward to seeing you at Meet the Teacher on Thursday, July 18th.  You can stop by anytime between 5:00-6:00pm.  Your new room number is A13.

     You can find a school supply list on my webpage.  Since we will be using community supplies in the classroom, please do not put your name on anything you bring.  It is also a good idea to bring your supplies to Meet the Teacher; this way your backpack will not be too heavy on Tuesday.

     I hope you had a summer.  I cannot wait to meet you!  We are going to have a fun year in first grade!

         Sincerely,

         Mrs. Yablon
