My contact information

I look forward to working with you this year!  Our partnership will help make this year successful for your student. Please contact me if you ever have any questions or concerns about anything!

Please call the office if you have an important message during the day as the classroom phone will not ring during the school day.  However, you are more than welcome to call the classroom phone (864-355-4932) and leave a voicemail for non-urgent messages, or send an email to bwest@greenville.k12.sc.us

Please know that I will try my best to respond to your communication attempts within 24 hours.

Flexible Seating

This year we will be incorporating flexible (or alternative) seating in our classroom.  This means that when students are working they will have the freedom to find comfortable spaces around the room to work.  They might be kneeling, standing, sitting, working on the carpet with a clipboard, or sitting at a table with an exercise ball.  There are many possibilities of what this can look like in a classroom.  Research shows that when students are comfortable they are able to focus and do their best work. It is my goal to utilize flexible seating to help your student be more comfortable and have successful learning opportunities in varied spaces! 

We will work to earn VIP FriYAYs in our class each week!!! On VIP FriYAYs, students will receive a special reward/incentive in the classroom (reading with flashlights, reading in the galaxy, no shoes, seat choice, etc.).  In addition to our VIP classroom reward, we would like to celebrate with a snack.  

If you would like to help us celebrate our hard work and learning, please sign up to send a nutFREE class VIP snack.
