Welcome to the 2020-2021 school year! I absolutely cannot wait to learn and grow with your kiddos. These unprecedented times are probably causing a variety of emotions, doubts, and worries to arise. I want to assure you that, even with our learning taking place virtually, I will be doing everything in my power to help make your children feel comfortable, included, informed, challenged, and loved. Let's work together to make this year a positive one! In our virtual classroom, we will:

• solve problems
• ask questions and seek answers creatively
• think outside of the box
• have fun
• be kind
• work hard and persevere
• challenge ourselves and one another
• revise and improve our ideas
• overcome obstacles
• become self-motivated
• grow into lifelong learners

I would love to help motivate your child to reach his full potentail. Every student deserves to experience success and to be noticed for her strengths. I hope that, throughout third grade, students gain confidence in themselves and realize that they can make a difference in the world!
