Here’s to a short, busy, and fun week! Students are invited to bring in Valentines this Tuesday (2/9) and Wednesday (2/10). We have 27 students in our class. Bags will be set out for socially distant delivery.  Valentines will be opened at home. 

Check the backpack: Papers come home as they are finished or corrected. Please help your student by checking the backpack regularly.

 Reading:  Students will be asked to spend 20 -30 minutes at home after school reading Part 2 Via.  Students will finish reading Part 1 of Wonder with emphasis on responding to the chapter with evidence from the text. CCSS: Literature: RL.4.1 Refer to details and examples in a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text

I received my initial certification in Special Education/Elementary Education from Western Washington University. I hold a Montessori Degree from Northwest Montessori school and a Masters in Curriculum and Instruction: Reading and Writing from Lesley University. I began my teaching career with a variety of classroom positions and joined the St John faculty in 1990 as a Kindergarten teacher. I later moved to 2nd grade, then to middle school where for the past 10 years I have taught a variety of subjects most currently as 8th grade homeroom and middle school religion teacher. Last year I asked to move to 4th grade, a grade I have never taught before. I am a native Seattleite growing up in the Wedgewood neighborhood and attending OLL and Blanchet high school. I am a wife, mother of 3 adult daughters, and one granddaughter. What I love most about teaching is experiencing the joy that learning brings to my students.
