Mrs. Lara Meyer

I'm so excited to begin my 21st year teaching children of all ages across New Hanover County and in parts of Brunswick County. After getting the opportunity to work with 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade over the years, I am thrilled to make my home again in 3rd grade for the 2022-2023 school year at Holly Tree Elementary. 

My goal is to help develop happy and healthy life long learners and positive role models for our global community. To achieve this goal, students will take part in collaborative learning activities, differentiated lessons, and independent reflection opportunities to gain mastery in Common Core Math and Language Arts skills as well as an understanding of aspects in Physical, Earth, and Living Sciences and Social Studies. 

Students will further accomplish these goals by taking part in daily Morning Meetings, Harmony SEL lessons, classroom jobs, and mindfulness activities. Technology will be integrated throughout our day in meaningful ways. Students will collaborate with peers with STEM activities, and they will research, plan, draft, edit, and publish masterpieces. Implementation of online resources such as Mystery Science, Studies Weekly, Kahoot, PearDeck, Zearn, Eureka Squared, and more will help sharpen our core skills in 3rd grade. These skills are integral for our students to become the successful individuals that we know they can be in the 21st century!  

As you can see, it's going to be a amazing year ahead in 3rd grade! 

Sincerely,

Lara M. Meyer
