Dear Parents,
Welcome to First Grade at Southwood Valley! I am excited to begin the new school year. First grade is an exciting year full of much growth. I look forward to seeing your little ones bloom as the year goes on!
I have been married for 14 years to my husband Iqbal. We have 2 kiddos. Our oldest, Ahmed, will be entering 8th grade. Iman will be in entering 4th grade here at SWV. Your children will get to hear lots and lots of stories about my little ones! :)
Some of you already know me because I may have had your children in Head Start, Kindergarten or maybe because your child had an older sibling in 4th. For those of you that do not know me, let me tell you a little about myself. First of all, I LOVE teaching! I adore this age where children are excited to learn and be part of a classroom community. I like to have fun, giggle, sing, dance and simply be silly. At the same time, I also have high expectations of myself and my students. I believe we need to all be a team-students, teachers and parents. It takes ALL of our participation to meet the individual needs of each student.
I also want you to know that come beginning of the school year your kiddos will also become my kiddos. I will take care of your babies while they are with me as if each one is Ahmed and Iman. I will help them through their struggles, listen to their stories, and guide them as they navigate life as a first grader. In my class, I teach them not only academics but also character and responsibility as well.
Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to get to know you and your child! I look forward to having another amazing year and to teaching your child!!
