For those who do not know me, my name is Mrs. Stone and I will be your child's 3rd grade teacher this year! I live in Orrington with my husband and two of my three grown children. When I'm not at school working in my new classroom, I enjoy hiking, camping, and being in nature. 

I am not new to the school, as I have been teaching in the Tech Lab for the past 9 years. This year will be a new adventure for me, as I have finally complete my Elementary Edcuation degree after 15 years and will be moving into a teaching position. 

I am beyond humbled to be entrusted to with the task of teaching your child and helping them to grow in so many ways. I have been on many adventures in my life, but I think teaching 3rd grade is going to be the biggest one yet! 

My expectation for each learner and myself is to show up with what we have, give it our all, and grow from every experience that is offered to us. To do this, we will practice and continue to grow our school's core values.

CENTER DRIVE SCHOOL'S CORE VALUES: 

Respect: In our classroom, we will foster an atmosphere where everyone shows respect for each other, ourselves,  and our environment. 

Responsibility: In our class, we will learn and grow together to become members of a classroom community where we are responsible for our actions, our materials, and our learning. 

Kindness: In our classroom, we will continually work toward creating a class culture where everyone cares about each other and treats each other with kindness. 

Honesty: In our class, we will strive to be honest to ourselves and to others.

If you have not already done so, please join our Class Dojo. This is a platform I will be using this year to keep families updated on the things we are doing. It is a free platform for schools which connects families to the classroom in many different ways including an interactive classroom social media feed, group and private messaging, and updates on your child's awesomeness!

NOTE:  There is a paid version of Class Dojo, which they will ask you to upgrade to, but please know this is not necessary for the purpose I intend it for. Click this link to sign up:
