Welcome to Room 112!


Dear Parents and Families,

Welcome to Room 112! The boys and girls have made a wonderful adjustment to first grade. We had a busy first week! The children started the week off by building a school community and learning about the Francis Wyman Falcon's SOAR motto. Here is a chart of the behaviors that are expected of the Francis Wyman community.

In our morning meeting and in the classroom we are constantly modeling and practicing these values. We took a tour of the school where the boys and girls were able to see what behaviors are expected in the different areas of the school (lunch room, bathrooms, hallway, library, etc.).

This week will be spent learning more about each other and our families. I also encourage you to ask your child about their day and to check back on this blog to see what is happening in Room 112. Feel free to contact me at any time at Sosnowski@bpsk12.org or leave comments below on the blog.



I look forward to meeting you all at the open house on Tuesday, September 19th from 6:00pm - 8:00pm.



There are three September birthdays in Room 112! Happy Birthday to...

  1. Today is Steven's 3rd day at this new school. He was very proud to announce that he did find room 112 on his own without asking for help. :D
