Welcome to the 2023-2024 school year!  I am so excited to be your child's first grade teacher. Most of us remember our first grade teacher and I want your child to look back on this year as a year filled with friends, fun, and laughter. I also want it to be a year your child grew in confidence and pride in their ability to read, write, and work with numbers.  There is so much to learn and time goes quickly. I will do all I can to make sure your child has a fantastic learning experience. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions, concerns, or comments. Email is the best contact method as I check it several times a school day.  Please feel free to email, comments, questions, concerns, or just to request a phone call or get an update.  I arrive at school by 7:15 a.m.  and stay until approximately 4:00 p.m.
