Meet Mrs. Truhart

Meet THE Teacher

 
 
Hi! My name is Mrs. Truhart and I am going to be your first grade teacher!  This will be my seventh year teaching at Steward School but my thirteenth year teaching first grade. I love first grade and all the exploring, learning, and fun we get to have!
I have a master’s degree in Elementary Education and I love to teach reading!  I could teach it all day!  I can’t wait to help you become a better reader and expose you to lots of new reading adventures.
I grew up in New York.  I love to go home and visit often.  I met my husband in college.  I have two pets: a fish and a yellow lab. I’ve lived many places and plan to travel to many more!  
This summer, I have been spending lots of timetraining my puppy Abbey Clover.  She has more energy than a room full of first graders!
I can’t wait to spend the next year learning and growing with you!

 There are a few things that I would like you to bring to school with you on the first day of school, so I have put them in order of priority for you:
Things to Bring
 
 
Supplies – The supply list can be found online atwww.topsfieldschools.org Please note that most supplies that you bring in will be pooled and used as community supplies for the classroom.
 
Family Photo - I know that going to a new classroom with a new teacher can sometimes make students feel nervous. I want all of the first graders in Room 301 to be excited to start school.  Please be sure to bring one family photo (parents, grandparents, siblings, pets, etc.) to school with you. I will be hanging the pictures up in the classroom.
 
Collage Materials – Within the first week or two of school, our class will be personalizing our writing notebooks with pictures and words of things that are important to us. Please gather materials such as personal photos, magazine clippings, words and/or letters to be used on your notebook.  
 
Enjoy the rest of your summer and I’ll see you soon!
 
Love,
Mrs. Truhart
