Welcome to the 4th grade! We have a very busy and exciting year in store for
us! My name is Jannette Wilkinson and this is my tenth year at St.
Catherine's and my second year of teaching 4th grade. I graduated from
Chapman University in 2007 with a BA in psychology; I received my teaching
credential from Chapman in 2008. Before St. Catherine's, I taught pre-school
for 14 years and I finally reached my goal of teaching school-age children--I
must say that I am loving every minute of it!!
Teaching for me is more than just a career; it has to do with my love for
children and wanting to make a difference in their lives. I realize that
teaching your child is a privilege, as well as a tremendous responsibility. I
will do my best this year to ensure that each student has a motivating and
safe learning experience in the classroom. However, I cannot do this alone: I
need your help. We both need to be partners in the learning process. I need
each of you to encourage your child at home by helping to ensure that they
have completed their assignments, and help them study for quizzes, if
necessary. Lastly, I think it is important for students to not just receive a
solid education, but to be in a classroom with a teacher that is aware of and
sensitive to their individual needs. I believe I can be that person and I wll
always strive to be the best teacher I can be.
