I am so excited to have the honor of teaching your child this year.  How do you feel about your child growing up and turning into an independent second grade student?  Your comments are welcome.

I am learning more and more about your child on a daily basis.  Please post any story you wish to share about him or her.  It does not matter if it is humorous or serious.  Thanks for sharing!  Also, thank you for trusting me with your child.
