Hello Scholars and Parents of Scholars. Welcome to 1st grade!!!  I am so excited and honored to be your 1st grade  teacher for this school year. I know this is a different time full of new experiences and uncertainty. However, I will ensure that your time of learning will be engaging, fun, and successful. We are all in this together. My class is a safe place where everyone can be themselves, do their best, form relationships, and receive consistent love, support, and encouragement. I will strive to always be my very best for my scholars, as I expect them to do the same. I look forward to getting to know each and everyone of you.
