This is such an honor! This will be my 11th year of teaching in 3rd grade and I have to tell you how much I love it! I want you to know how much I am looking forward to making this school year wonderfully happy, successful, and exciting! Together, you and I will make this happen. Thank you for your support and for sharing with me your most prized All-Stars! :) Just so you know, I like to keep parents up-to-date on the activities in our classroom so I will be emailing you weekly. I did this last year and the parents said they loved it! Also, if you need to schedule a conference with me, please call the office at 281-482-1201 and Jodi can help you make arrangements. I know some of you have a hard time getting to school for a conference so phone conferences are always an option as well. ~Miss Reed

Mission Label:


Mission
My Philosophy of Education I believe that all students have skills and talents that must not only be respected, but also used and encouraged in the classroom in order to achieve academic excellence. Students will know that they will be held accountable for high expectations concerning their growth and success as a learner. These expectations go hand in hand with opportunities for success. It is my responsibility to help children meet these high expectations by making learning clear and relevant to students' personal experiences both inside and outside the classroom. Students will meet my expectations by having an active role in learning. Students will become responsible for their own learning through active engagement with peers on varying academic levels and through manipulation and examination of ideas and materials. This active learning gives students opportunities to work creatively, to use critical thinking skills, and to problem solve. I want students to learn to take responsibility for their own learning, to develop the importance of learning in order to understand, and to identify and assess what they know. Instructional strategies will focus on process as well as product. My goals are to note the diverse nature of all my students, capitalize on their diversity, and provide each with quality curriculum and effective literacy instruction.
