Dear Families,
I hope you had a wonderful summer and are ready for a fantastic school year! My name is Alysha Cannon and I am so excited to be your child’s first grade teacher. This is my third year teaching in West Islip Schools. I have taught second grade at a school in NYC for five years before coming to PJB. I attended Paul J. Bellew when I was a child and I love being back in West Islip School District!
A little about myself: In the summer, I love spending time at the beach, going on bike rides and rollerblading. I am the Assistant Director of the camp on Fire Island and love spending my summers there! In the winter, I love to go snowboarding. My favorite subject is math and I love reading new books. I also really enjoy cooking and traveling!
What I love most about teaching is the relationships I create with my students. My goal is to help each and every one of my students reach their highest potential within a learning environment that is engaging and supportive. In order to make this year successful, I believe that forming relationships with my students’ families is essential. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns please feel free to email me at a.cannon@wi.k12.ny.us.
I look forward to hearing all about your child’s interests, strengths, challenges, and goals. I am thrilled to be working with your child this year and cannot wait to see all of the amazing achievements this year brings! We are going to have a fantastic year together!
Sincerely,
Alysha Cannon
