Hello,
My name is Roylin Petties. I am a lifelong resident of Midland. I
am very excited to be working with you and your child this year. I am a
recent graduate of Slippery Rock University.
I plan to have a fun and exciting year with your child. I will
presenting them with many different challenges, but I feel that with your
encouragement and help we will have a very successful year!!! The goal of my
courses are to challenge the students to be engaged in the world around
them. Although I am teaching history, we as a class will have Current Event
days on Fridays.This will help the students to be engaged with the news,
newspapers, and internet. They will be able to pick topics and we will
discuss the issues on Fridays.
It is not my goal to just "teach" your child, but it is my goal to
get your child thinking beyond the four walls of my classroom, and the town
of Midland. Another goal is to help the students realize that we are all
interconnected in some form. I believe that history helps us realize that we
truly are dependent upon the past to help us make a brighter future.
Once again, I am very excited to work with you and your child. If
you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me any
time by email or by calling 724 643 8650 ext 1209.
Thank you,
Roylin Petties
