Welcome to my class! I am so excited to have you here. I am fairly sure you're a parent reading this, or a parent reading to your child, or reading this for yourself. In any case, I can't wait to meet you.
This will be my tenth year teaching, and my ninth year at Trantwood! I taught fifth grade for five years, and fourth grade for three years. I taught kindergarten in Albemarle County prior to moving to the area, and I have been anxious to go back and teach the little ones! There is something so special and wonderful about the ages of 5-7. So much learning and growth are possible. Plus, I have a Master's degree in Early Childhood Education from JMU, so I am excited to finally be able to put my years of schooling into action.
If you are a parent, and are wondering what you can do for your child at home, all I have to say is: READ. It is the single most important skill that any student will ever need in life. It transcends across all areas of life. The more a person is able to read and understand, the more involved in society he will be. Your child may be young now, but as you know, NOW is the time. I can't wait to be a part of the journey for your child.
So, welcome, and I hope you enjoy my site.
Thanks!
