Hi!

I would like to take this time to formally introduce myself to you and your family and
welcome you to Kindergarten at Sargent Shriver Elementary School. My name is Kellie Lewis and
this is my third year teaching Kindergarten! I graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University in
Richmond, VA, where I majored in Early Education and Psychology, and also received my Masters
in Teaching. I go to Richmond often to visit my parents and sister who still live there.
This year is a very exciting year for me because not only will I have the pleasure of having
your child in my class, but I will also be getting married at the end of the school year! I am very
excited and looking forward to this next chapter in my life!
Teaching has been my passion since I was a little girl. I know that Kindergarten is a big step
for not only students, but parents as well. Many of the students will be nervous and apprehensive.
This is also a time of mixed emotions for parents---joy that your child is ready for school, but sad-
ness because they are no longer a "baby"! Kindergarten is one of the most important milestones in
your child's life. I want to assure you that I will do my best to make sure your child has an enjoya-
ble school year and that everyone is able to succeed.
In the coming weeks we will be getting to know each other as a class, establishing and prac-
ticing routines, and working on what it means to be Responsible, Respectful, and Ready to Learn.
My goal for the classroom this year is to build a community of intelligent self sufficient students,
who set goals for themselves and meet personalized expectations.
There will be many volunteer opportunities throughout the year for either field trips or
extra help needed around the classroom. I also welcome parents to come in and observe their
child in action.
Again I am very excited about the 2014-2015 school year and cant wait to get to know
your students. I will be giving periodic phone calls home to keep you up to date on your students
progress. We will also have the daily folders as a form of communication between home and
school, and the classroom website. (mslewiskrazykindergarten@weebly.com) However, if you have
any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me at school (301)-929-4426, or via email
at Kellie_i_Lewis@mcpsmd.org.
