Welcome Back!

August 22, 2017

Dear Families,

           WELCOME BACK!  This year is going to be awesome!  4^th grade is a year full of growth both academically and socially.  I hope that this letter finds you well rested and ready to begin the school year.

            After teaching Kindergarten last year, I will be teaching 4th grade for my 14th year at WLE!  I have two daughters – Caroline and Katelyn, and a new puppy, Rose.  During the summer months, I spend lots of time with them and my husband.  My favorite memory from this summer is our family trip up north to Tawas.  We loved swimming in Lake Huron and kayaking.

            NEW FOR THIS YEAR:  We will be having a meet and greet on Wednesday, August 30^th from 3:00-5:00pm.  You can come into the classroom, have a look around, drop off supplies (if you have them), and then enjoy a Popsicle on the playground.  I am looking forward to seeing some of you then.

            Every school year, I am excited about the first day of school.  I cannot wait to greet each one of you on Tuesday, September 5^th.  I just know that we will have a great year together. 

            Please bring a favorite book and a family picture to school on the first day.  I can’t wait to see what types of books you all like to read.  We will be sharing our favorite books as a class during the first week of school.  The supply list for 4^th grade was available on the Walled Lake Elementary webpage.  If you have not been able to view it, I have included a link to the webpage for you:

            I am looking forward to seeing all of you on the first day of school (or at the Meet and Greet)!  Please do not hesitate to email me if you have any questions or concerns, my email address is ellenmcdonald@wlcsd.org.

Sincerely,

Mrs. McDonald
