 Mrs. Holcomb's 1st Grade

This letter will serve as an introduction and give you some general information about me and the first grade at Mountain View Core Knowledge.  My name is Kari Holcomb and I have the honor of teaching your child this year.  

We’re off and running on what I’m sure is going to be a terrific school year! My hope for this year is to stay in close contact with you.  Therefore, please come to expect that your child’s green take-home folder will come home everyday.  It may or may not have anything in it, but I want the children to get into the habit of returning it to school every day.  Please sign the homework slip inside the folder stating that your child completed the homework.  Also, you may use it as a way of communicating with me.  I really welcome and appreciate notes, e-mails or phone calls from you and will address any of your questions and/or concerns.  I will also send home a weekly newsletter to keep you up to date on our classroom events.   

This is my 7th year of teaching grades, first, second and third grade.  My degree is from Colorado State University of Pueblo.  I taught the last four years in Colorado Springs, Academy School District #20 and two years before that I taught in Pueblo School District #60.  I am the fourth generation to be born and raised in Canon City.  I attended Canon City schools from kindergarten through high school.  My husband, Rob and I have been married for three years and are currently building a house in Pueblo West.     

I am excited to be teaching at Mountain View and look forward to getting to know you and your children.  Thanks for the great new class of first graders!  If you need to get in contact with me, I can be reached at school 275-1980.
