Additional Curriculum
Along with teaching the students English, Reading, Spelling, and Religion my focus will be on teaching/reinforcing the following:
     Responsibility, values, being prepared for class, note taking, listening/speaking skills, journal writing, writing across the curriculum, following guidelines for assignments, and incorporating literature through reading Newbery Award books.

Absent/Dismissal
A reminder that I must receive a note from the parent/guardian when a child is absent or going home with another student.
     If you have any questions or concerns about your child’s school experience, please feel free to contact me. I will ensure to return your call or arrange to meet with you.

I’m looking forward to a positive and productive school year with your child!
