Meet Ms. Roberts
From the Teacher's Desk...
Some research suggests that the candle symbolizes light in the darkness of life especially individual life; it serves as an illumination; it is the symbol of holy illumination of the spirit of truth. It is a candle’s flame that helps to soothe our soul – reducing stress and increasing self-awareness. In today’s ever changing society, it is important that educators serve as a light in a dark place. I would want to continue to be that light, just as my educators have been for me.
I currently work as a support teacher, also known as an Exceptional Students’ teacher, at Pine Grove Elementary. I have always known that I wanted to be a teacher. As I went through my academic career I looked back on the values the ideas that had been instilled in me as a kid by my elementary school teacher, and once I realized the impact that one person had had on me, everything clicked. It wasn’t until I was high school that I realized that I wanted to be an exceptional student’s teacher. While learning new things can be challenging, I intend to teach students a variety of strategies to work through their own struggles and empower themselves to learn and grow. From teaching kindergarten, first, second, fourth and fifth grade, I have obtained a variety of skills and experiences to help meet the needs of every learner.

Positive connections between parents and teachers have been shown to improve children’s academic achievement, social competencies and emotional well-being. In fact, research suggests that the existence of partnerships between parents and teachers improves children’s work habits, attitudes about school, and grades. With that being said, I believe that communication is the key to a successful school year. Please feel free to reach out to me with questions and/or concerns. I am available most week days to talk with you between the hours of 9:45 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. ( everyday except Tuesdays and Thursdays) and between 3:00 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. You may use any of the following methods to reach me and/or follow a class.
