I am excited to have your child in room 35 this year.
This will be a busy year for your child as we learn a great deal
and begin to prepare for that giant leap into middle school next year.
I believe in a relationship-driven classroom management plan.
This type of classroom management is based upon building
a relationship with your child. This relationship will help
us all understand each other and build a peaceful and productive
learning environment. We will work together to build confident,
happy, accepting, resilient children. I am looking forward to getting
to know your child and working with you to provide a great
educational experience for the 2006-2007 school year!
