Dear Mr. and Mrs. Smith,
My name is Karen Winget and I am really glad to welcome you and your kid to my classroom this
year. I graduated from the University of California as a major in English literature and later did my
diploma (文凭) in Early Childhood Education from the same university. I have been teaching in the
elementary grade for five years, though I’ve been working at Sunshine School for the past three years.
I'm interested in reading and I also have my own blog which I see as a window to express myself.
Besides, I always meet new people and learn about their language and culture.
I am looking forward to meeting as well as knowing every student of my class and their parents. This
year will be a challenging year for your children, however, I will try to make the classes more interesting
as well as easier, so that each child can understand. Moreover, I do not just want to stick to academics.
Besides, I am planning activities to develop the student’s creative skills and interests. I hope to make this
academic year an educational year which is full of fun for students.
If you would like to discuss your kid's performance or any other problems that he/she is facing in
class, you can meet me during lunch break hours, between 9:15 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. It will be
appreciated if you inform me a day in advance to fix the meeting. Besides this, you can also email me at
karie_1234@sunshine.com to discuss any problems about your child.
Yours Sincerely,
Karen Winget
