Susan Becic

 Susan Becic, Kindergarten Teacher

     Welcome to Kindergarten at Laurelhurst School! My name is Susan Becic and I would like to take this opportunity to let you know a little bit about myself. My husband and I live in the Laurelhurst neighborhood and our four children attended Laurelhurst Elementary! My own interests and hobbies are running, reading, cooking, hiking, sewing and of course spending time with my (almost grown up) children.
     This is my 9th year teaching Kindergarten at Laurelhurst School. Previous to that, I taught preschool (4-5 year olds), for several years. I received my Masters degree in Education from Portland State, in June 2003. My graduate coursework focused on Early Childhood. I truly enjoy working with young children and their families! I have to say that Kindergarten children are my favorite age group! I love watching the social and academic growth that occurs, over the course of the year.
Our program is most successful with lots of help from parent volunteers. Parents are needed during literacy “work centers”, writing, art projects and field trips. I’m sure that you will find spending time in our classroom, quite rewarding! Working together, we can make this a wonderful year for your child.

About Valentine’s Day

in Room 114

Class Party

We are having Valentine themed centers on Tuesday, February 14th at 11am, with valentine activities.    

Valentines

Please help your child sign his/her name on a valentine for every child in the class.  Homemade valentines are great, but children love the store-bought ones as well.  A copy of the class list is included.  Please be sure your child signs the valentines with his/her name.  Valentines from home can be sent to school beginning in Feb 6th.  We will be making a Valentine Bag, in class, to hold all your students valentines! We will not be having any food treats on Valentines Day  because:

Ice Cream Sundae Party-Our class had the highest gift wrap sales of the whole school!  As a prize, the PTA is throwing us a party.  We will have our Sundaes on Wed. Feb. 15 at 2:00 in the afternoon.  This is a Late Opening Day, so everyone will be here at that time.
