Welcome to 1st Grade!

Dear New 1st Grade Families,

Welcome to the 2016-2017 school year! I am thrilled to be your child's teacher, and look forward to being your partner in educating your child this school year. Please be sure to check out the "All About Mrs. Mueller" tab above to learn more about me and my family. Be sure to subscribe to this blog as well to receive email notification on blog updates. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at hmueller@hpseagles.net.
Enjoy your summer, be sure to read to your child often, make lots of memories, and I look forward to seeing you in August!

For your children,
Holly R. Mueller (pronounced Miller)

Happy First Week of Summer!

Dear "2nd grade" families,
I hope your summer is off to a great start! I have loved seeing the few students I have already run into. It sure does brighten my day!

You will want to head to your settings and unsubscribe from my class blog (unless I am lucky enough to have your child next year, or you still want emails from me :)

I wanted to share here some of the suggestions I emailed out the last week of school, please a big one I forget to include:
1. Have your child email me! I promise to write back within a day or two. This is great writing practice, and typing practice. They can either type the letter out, or handwrite it, and you can send a picture of their letter to me. 

2. Raz Kids is available all summer. www.kidsa-z.com - hmueller1 is the password.

3. Xtramath.org and mathplayground.com are also good websites to practice math with. **I did go on this week and added subtraction for everyone on xtramath. Once they pass addition, they will move on to subtraction.  

4. And don't forget to read TO your child! While it is important for them to read themselves, they LOVE being read to (trust me - I did it every day. My absolutely favorite time of our day!). Picture books or chapter books will work. 

Finally, make LOTS of memories. I miss your kiddos already! Please give them big hugs for me. I will look forward to emails from them!

For your children,
Holly
