Welcome To

Mrs. Alleman’s Classroom

 

 

 

My name is Judi Alleman, and I am delighted to be your child’s teacher this year.  School is a time of new beginnings, of making friends, and of learning lots of new things each and every day.  This is my twenty-sixth year with the Harrisburg City School District.  Our days and weeks will be filled with wonderful experiences and opportunities for learning and growing.

 

We will learn all about letters and sounds this year, and will be doing lots of writing activities, too.  The children are always proud of the stories and books they create and are anxious to share their new skills.  Families can help at home by reading to and with their child daily, and encouraging them to write and draw.  We will also be learning all about numbers, building on important math concepts including sorting, counting, graphing, classifying, patterns, time and money, measuring, and addition and subtraction.

 

You are welcome to visit our classroom at anytime. I can always use an extra pair of hands and another smiling face, when I am working with the children.  I am in need of helpers who can come on a regular schedule, whether weekly, biweekly, or monthly, as well as helpers who would just like to drop by when they can.  I, also, need helpers who are willing to do simple things for me at home, such as stapling books together or gluing covers on books.  Let me know if you are able to help in this way, and I will send all necessary materials home with your child.

 

As soon as we settle in, I’ll be sending you information regarding our daily schedule.  Please feel free to call me at school (703-1240 Room 112) if you have any questions or comments.  I’m looking forward to a wonderful year with you and your child!
