Welcome!

The purpose of this website is to inform you as parents of what is going on in your child's class as well as for my students.  For parents, I provide a little information about myself and my beliefs regarding education and any reminders about upcoming events.  I will also provide our objectives for the week so that you can see what your child should be learning in my class each week.  For my students, this website will provide helpful activities for building their knowledge and skills.  I will provide useful and fun websites, a scavenger hunt, and other fun learning activities.  I hope you find this site helpful and fun!

Also, don't forget about our Holiday party on December 19th before we get out for Winter Break.  Parents, it would be great if you could help provide food and drinks for this party.  I will send home a letter in the next couple days telling you more about this with a list of things that will be needed.  Thank you for your support!  We could not make it without you!
