I'm so excited to be teaching first grade this year! It is going to be amazing to watch the kids grow, learn, and develop.

Some ways to help your child have a successful year include reading with them (in any language), asking them about what they are learning in school, and discussing how you use math, reading, and writing in everyday situations. Please check out the "Homework" page for more information.

This will be my 10th year at Westside, and I'm glad I get to share this year with your child!

If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me.
