First week letter

Dear 4th & 5th Grade Class,

Hello! My name is Reina Honig and I am very excited to introduce myself to you as your teacher for this school year. I hope you had a nice and restful summer. I went mountain biking at Lake Tahoe and surfed in San Clemente & Cambria. I also visited Hearst Castle! I can’t wait to find out all about your summer!

I want to tell you a little about myself as we start this new school year together.  I am originally from Santa Barbara. I went to UCSB and majored in History, so you can expect some social studies lessons that I am really interested in, and I hope they’ll grab your attention too! In 2006, my husband and I went on a trip around the world and visited 10 countries. We brought our surfboards and snorkels and took hundreds of pictures. As always, I enjoyed watching the Giants games this summer and I even got to go to a game! My family is really quite large; I am the oldest of 5 kids! My sister is 34 and she has a daughter who is 7 and just started 2nd grade. My brother, who is 32, is married and they have a little girl who is quite the talker! She also has a little brother who is just learning to crawl. My younger brother works at the airport and plays the guitar and piano in a band and has a son whose birthday is the day after Christmas. My youngest brother is studying to be a police officer. He is adopted and was born in Romania. I am looking forward to finding out more about your families and interests as we work together this year!

Thanks for taking the time to read my letter. I know we are going to have a fantastic year together.

Yours truly,

Mrs. Honig
