Note from Hannah Koch

Dear Parents and Guardians,
    
My name is Hannah Koch.  I currently attend Kansas State University and am
working on obtaining my bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education.  I am
going to be student teaching in your student’s classroom this semester.  
I have been in the classroom for a few weeks now and I have come to know many
of the students.  Each one is unique and contributes so much to the
classroom dynamic.  I feel like this semester holds a lot of promise for
me and for your student.  I look forward to watching your student grow
more and more.  It satisfies me to know that I can be part of this
experience and have a hand in it too.

If you wish to contact me, please email Mrs. Sibbitt (katies@usd383.org).  We can then workon communication as a team. I look forward to meeting each of you at the upcoming Parent-Teacher Conferences!

Sincerely,

Hannah E. Koch
