Welcome to First Grade!
Hello 1st grade families! I am so excited to meet your child and your family!
I've been with the LPS family for for a long time! My two grown children, Cody and Danielle, attended Moody, Goddard then graduated from LHS.
I've been at Wilder for about 19 years teaching mostly 1st grade. I love the excitement for learning that first graders have and watching them grow!
I would like to take this opportunity to
welcome you and your child back to Wilder for another school year. For those who are new to our school community I would like to extend a special welcome.
I am very excited about the year ahead! The students and I will work hard together over this next school year where the joy of learning will be our major focus! Your child learned so much last year, and I want to build on that knowledge. I look forward to all that the students and I will experience together.
I value and believe:
In educating the whole child. When a child feels safe, happy and secure in the classroom their learning will come naturally! Creating a caring environment for my students is a top priority!
That teamwork with my first grade teammates, the Wilder staff, and especially with parents is essential to ensure that all students receive a quality education.
That all students have unique talents and personalities and that differentiation of instruction is essential. I believe that student performance is enhanced by using many teaching strategies.
That home/school communication is an important link to learning success.
