Last Full Week

Countdown to summer has begun but academics are still happening around here. Short reading and writing unit on poetry. In science students students will make a flashlight and in Social Studies we will readh our final destination, the Oregon territory.

Some Items to Note

  • Last week for hot lunch.
  • Math: Simple Solutions Workbook: Ms Martin began piloting this program mid-year so don’t be surprised when it is not finished. It would be great practice for students over the summer. We loved the format of this book and grades 3-5 will be using it next year in addition to the math curriculum.
  • This week I will send home copies of the beginning and end of the year writing assessment. I will ask the students to share these with you so you can celebrate their growth.
  • Hygiene Drive Service Project: We have had a great response so far from both preschool and 4thgrader.THANK YOU!
  • Please sign and return Field Day Permission Slips

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.
