Hello, and welcome to Room 17 and the 2017 school year. Our names are Krista Gill and Suzy Matthews and we will be your child’s teachers for this year. I (Krista) will be teaching Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Suzy will be teaching Thursday and Friday. While we are both relatively new to Colonel Light Gardens Primary School we each have over 12 years of experience, teaching in both country and metropolitan schools. We are also parents ourselves, myself, a mum of 3 and Suzy a mum of 1.
Our aim as your child’s teachers is to provide a safe, challenging and positive learning environment so the classroom is a place where they feel successful, happy and comfortable to take risks. We look forward to working with you and your children as a team, to continue their learning journey.
Over the next two weeks it will be a time where we get to know one another and focus on our school values, class expectations, Expert Learner qualities and the Play is the Way life rafts and games. It is also a time for us to become familiar with routines. Once we are settled we welcome you into the class to work with the children or to simply see how we work our way through the day.
We value frequent home school communication. It is our hope that this note will be the basis for a great deal of dialogue and communication. We’ll discuss what’s happening in our classroom, how we can best support and extend your child’s learning and ways you can support your child’s learning at home.
We look forward to meeting you at the upcoming Acquaintance night on Wednesday the 15th of February (week 3). Should you need to see us we are available before or after school or alternatively you can write a note in your child’s diary or email us directly at krista.gill758@schools.sa.edu.au or suzy.lawrence793@schools.sa.edu.au
We look forward to a positive school year with lots of fun to be had and challenging work to be accomplished.
