Welcome To Room 8


Teacher letters have gone out and I know some of you might be visiting to check out your new teacher.  Welcome! I hope you had a wonderful summer and are ready for a great year. I can't wait to meet you. Here's a little bit about me...I've been teaching at Springdale for over 15 years and I love teaching first grade.  I grew up in Stamford and live here now with my husband and 3 children. My oldest son is going to be a senior in high school which I can't believe, my daughter Is going into high school and my youngest son just turned 12 this past week. They are getting way too big and I'm so glad that I still get to spend my days with 5 and 6 year olds. It's a lot of fun. 
First grade will be a lot of work but it is also fun and very exciting. Your children will become super readers, writers and scientists. They are going to learn and grow so much and I'm looking forward to being a part of it. 
I'm actually heading to school now to start setting up.  I will post more information about our classroom and include some pictures next week so please check back soon. 
Here are a couple photos from my summer.

Our new kitty Ginny who is very cute but is getting into lots of trouble 
See you soon!
