You are cared about. I value your ideas, thoughts, and actions. You are uniquely you and I can't wait to learn all about your strengths and talents. When you walk into our room you become a part of our family! You will bring so much to our class and I can't wait to learn more about you!

Feel free to email me or send me a dojo message as I check my email multiple times during the school day.
We celebrate birthdays as they come close throughout the school year. We will also celebrate half-birthdays for those that have a summer birthday. If you would like, you may send birthday treats for our class to celebrate.
Students may bring in their own personal snacks for a break but I ask that they do not share these snacks with others. I also encourage healthy choices for any snack sent to school, some options include: Cheese Sticks, Yogurt, Fresh Fruit, Popcorn, Fruit Cups, Pretzels, Dry Cereal, and Veggies.
