I am the Resource teacher here at West Elementary. This year I will be teaching resource for all grades, as well as providing consultation for students receiving those services. I am really excited about working with your child this year! We will be using the Language! Program for Reading and English remediation and acceleration. We will also be using the Carbo Reading Program to strengthen reading comprehension. We will be using the Saxon Math Program for Math. We will be using the Making Math Real Program for supplemental hands on and practice activities. I also want to stress the importance of keeping the lines of communication open between home and school. For this reason, I ask that you check your child's agenda every night. He/She will bring it to class every day. I will keep you updated on assignments and classroom behavior. A progress report will go home every two weeks, which needs to be signed and returned. You may also see reading assignments and homework written in the agenda periodically. Please,practice reading, writing, and math at home. Your involvement is key to you child's success.
