I am so excited to be your teacher this year and to learn and grow with you! A little about me … I am starting on my 14^th year here at Saint John School. I have a Master’s degree in Education from Emerson College and have taught various grade levels during my career in education, from grade school to college courses.

The students and I have discussed that it may be beneficial to have a 1 inch binder in which to put all of their social studies work. This would help to organize for studying.

Our value of the month of October is Choose Life! We will be praying a decade of the rosary in Religion each day and focusing on respecting and valuing life from the unborn to the elderly and sick. To that end, we have earned our first RUTF (ready-to-use Therapeutic Food) for UNICEF Kid Power last week. This project allows us to give food to severely malnourished children in the world and to be aware of hunger in the world. We also spend three to five minutes every day getting a little exercise and having a little fun through dance.
We are gearing up for our first module test in Math! The students will be bringing home a study guide that will mirror the questions on the test to help them prepare. Stay tuned to the school website class page for updates!
We have started diving into Esperanza Rising, reading it in our Literary Circles to support a rich and meaningful understanding of the characters and culture in the story. This close reading will allow the students to go along with Esperanza on her journey facing obstacles through her young life.
We are sending home information with your students on their reading levels and ways to help your students grow. The RAZ website has level based readings to help our students become better readers and better learners. Skills, such as main idea with supporting details or compare and contrast, are used along with the readings to advance your child’s education.
