The foundation of our classroom is built strong with relationships.

From this solid base, our classroom family will be constructed. It is my belief

and experience that strong relationships pave the way for groundbreaking

moments in our classroom.

The work we will do this year will be dynamic, interesting, and creative. My

goal is to help instill in your child a lifelong love for learning. We will

approach each day with this goal in mind and ensure that our work is

intentional, experiential, and that students will know how the skills we study

are applicable to their own lives.

Establishing a close-knit relationship with your child and your family that is based

on communication and respect.

Modeling and encouraging a love of lifelong learning.

Facilitating a rigorous education that enables your child to meet and exceed

Washington State /Common Core Standards for third grade

Ensuring that your child experiences success and celebrates their

accomplishments.

Providing your child with a vivid and engaging learning environment!
