Buzzing into a New Year!!


(Letter send home via "real" mail to all of my new Weckies)
I am thrilled to have you in my 2nd grade class this year! Can you believe how fast this summer has flown by? Let me take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Mrs. Weckstein (formerly Phillips… I got a year ago!). I have spent the past seven years at Dublin where I spent two years in second grade, jumped to fourth grade for a year, and then spent two years in second grade before teaching Kindergarten last year. I am VERY excited about the opportunity to return to 2nd grade this coming school year and cannot wait to meet everyone!

         Let me tell you a little more about myself… I enjoy spending time with my husband Dan, my family and friends as well as with our little white dog, Nolan! I consider myself to be a pretty big Red Wings fan as well as a diehard Spartan. I love to scrapbook and read, both of which I have done a lot of this summer. We also did a lot of road-tripping this summer as we drove to Northern Wisconsin and spent time in a cute cabin on a gorgeous lake! We took Nolan on his first boat ride and he LOVED it! We also enjoy golfing and geocaching over the summer. What have you been doing this summer? Have you gone on any neat trips or been to fun places?

         This year Dublin will be hosting an “Open House” on Thursday, September 8th for students and parents to meet the teachers of Dublin. Please stop by our classroom, 204 and visit! I can easily be reached in the classroom at (248) 956-3864 or by email at JenniferPhillips@wlcsd.org. Please make note that my email uses my maiden name. My sister-in-law is a teacher at Hickory Woods Elementary in the Walled Lake School District and her name also happens to be Jennifer Weckstein! She has promised to forward any emails that go to her account by accident.

         If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to contact me at anytime. I look forward to an exciting year working with you and your child! I hope to see you on September 1st for the “Meet the Teachers” or on the first day of school, Tuesday, September 6th!

Sincerely,

   Mrs. Weckstein :-)
