Welcome to UPK 4!   My name is Ms. Rosario and I will be child’s teacher.  My email is [email protected].  The summer has drawn to a close, and another school year is about to begin.  I hope each and every one has had a relaxing summer. I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself as your child’s teacher in PreK and to tell you that I am looking forward to the pleasure of working together with your child and you.  I realize that teaching your child is a privilege, as well as a tremendous responsibility. I will do my best this year to ensure that each student has a motivating and safe learning experience in the classroom. However, I cannot do this alone. I need your help. We both need to be partners in the learning process. I will need your cooperation in order to make your child’s transition from home to school is successful every day. Please voice your concerns to me as soon as they come up. I will be sure to communicate mine with you. I would also like to know of any changes going on at home, which might affect your child’s behavior. A parent leaving on a business trip, illness, visiting relatives or a nightmare may show up in the classroom as tantrums, tears, excitement, or sadness. I can best help your child adjust if I know why he or she is feeling out of sorts. I consider parents to be members of our classroom family, and your support and involvement is vital to your child’s development.

PreK is the beginning of an amazing learning journey. My class will be a joyful and caring community of friends, a place where all children feel valued and can blossom socially, emotionally, physically, and academically. My goal is to provide a kind and nurturing environment, instill a love of learning and create a community of “happy” PreK students. This year we will be busy learning through hands-on activities, group work, and many creative projects. PreK is a fun and exciting place to make new friends and explore this amazing world.
