All About
Mrs. Douts!
Hello! I am your first
grade teacher! This will be my 8th year
of teaching first grade at Martic, 7 of
them being at Martic and I spent 1 year
at Hambright. I love helping students
learn! I earned my teaching degree
from Millersville University in
elementary education and special
education. Then I went and earned my
Master’s Degree from Wilkes
University; I love learning too!
I live with my husband Mr. Douts and
our two daughters, Caralyn and Caitlin.
Cara will be 5 this fall and Caitlin will
be 3 this fall. When we aren’t on our
farm, we LOVE spending time at the
beach and enjoyed our yearly trip to
Myrtle Beach in June. My family also
loves to go camping in our big camper.
We love spending time with our family
and friends!
I am excited to see your smiling face
on the first day of school on Thursday,
August 23rd! It will be here before we
know it.
Love, Mrs. Douts

Dear First Grader, The school year is about to start
and I am excited to spend it
together. We are going to learn so
much! As you start to prepare for
school, try to begin to get yourself in
a school routine by getting a good
night sleep and eating a healthy
breakfast to start the day.
Remember to keep reading over the
summer or have a story read to you.
We will be doing lots of reading in
first grade! You will also be a
mathematician and learn how to add,
subtract, count money, tell time,
problem solve, and more. We will also
be plant scientists, learn about our
community, and so much more! Get
ready to write lots of stories, poetry,
and non-fiction. It’s going to be a
great school year and I can’t wait to
hear all about your summer! Rest up
and I will see you soon!
Love, Mrs. Douts
Very Important
First Day Information:
Please remember to wear the
enclosed name tag on the first
day of school. This will help me
get to know your name as we
get adjusted to the first week of
school. Please also have mom or
dad put your bus number on
your name tag so teachers can
help you get on the right bus at
dismissal time. Thank you!
Parents, please take the time
to fill out the survey and send
it in with your child on the 1st
day of school!
Summer Packets:
If you completed your Summer Activity
Packet from Mrs. Mulder, please
remember to return it the first week of
school so you can get a prize from her.
Below is a list of the school supplies you
will need for the first day of school. Also
make sure you have a back pack too.

be replenished throughout the year in
your child’s tool box.
