Welcome to the 2009-2010 school year! You can't imagine how
excited I am about teaching your children! We are going to have a great time
in this class, and we are going to learn a great deal together. When I say
together, I mean all of us...your child, you, and me. We will be working
together as a team with a common goal. That goal is to educate and nurture
your son or daughter.
Please be involved in your child's studies. The rewards for active
participation in your child's education are hard to see on a day to day
basis, but they will manifest themselves down the road, I assure you. I
have created this website with you, the parent, in mind. I want you to be
informed as to what my expectations are, as well as what is going on in our
classroom. I have included many links to other websites I feel will help and
inform you and your child. I have also included many tips and ideas to help
you and your child succeed. I will update this website as often as I can and
as often as I find something new, creative, informative, and helpful.
I pledge to you I will work to the best of my ability to create a nurturing
and safe learning environment. I will help each child work harder than they
ever thought they could. I will make each child wonder, question, criticize,
and critique. I will help each child learn the importance in being a caring,
responsible, sensitive, well-prepared citizen.
Parents, I hope to meet with you in the near future to review your child's
goals for the upcoming school year. I am here for you and your child should
you have any questions or concerns. Please contact me at school during school
hours or via email.
