Dear Room 2 Families,

I would like to personally welcome you all to the 2020-2021 school year. We are faced with many unknowns and anxiety as we continue to navigate through this Covid-19 Pandemic. All students in MUSD will be in Distance Learning for the first semester. I will use a combination of online platforms and monthly packets for the students to learn from. My goals as your child's teacher are to make he/she fall in love with learning, develop practical life skills, and gain personal responsibility. I want your child to foster a growth mindset by thinking....

I want to learn!

I'm getting smarter everyday!

I want to do my best work!

I won't give up!

Parent Homework:

Please make every effort to have at least one parent attend our Zoom Parent Orientation meeting tomorrow night August 10th at 6:00 pm. I will be giving you important information for you and your child. We will have monthly pick up and drop off of student work. Our first pick up will be this Wednesday, August 12th from 11:00 am-12:00pm in the front drop off area.

I will be using Parent Square as our main form of communication. You may refer to our class webpage for general information. Please feel free to contact me anytime via email. My email address is hleday@musd.org

Thank you!!!!!

Classroom Supplies Needed:

I will go over the supplies during our Zoom meeting. I will be sending home a pencil box "starter kit" for each child.

About Me

I have spent my entire teaching career at Sinnott and came to the Bay Area right after college graduation. I have been teaching for 25 years and have loved every minute of it. I am passionate about teaching and simply adore children. While at Sinnott, I have taught Transitional Kindergarten, Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grades. I have a BA degree in Liberal Studies, a bilingual teaching credential, and a MA degree in Education with an emphasis on Language and Literacy.

I am married with two sons. I enjoy teaching Group Fitness classes, traveling, shopping, dining out, and spending time with family and friends.

I look forward to another amazing school year!
