I am the Reading and Writing teacher for rooms 305, 306 and 303. My goal is to have your children read and write independently. I believe in incorporating and embedding all forms of learning while using technology, hands on/ kinesthetic activities and skill based work. I am eager to help your child to improve his/ her reading and writing abilities.
Each child will have access to the Google Classroom page they are assigned to and each child may invite their parent/guardian to join the class, where work will be posted, and where reminders about work, projects, and assessments/ tests are due. If a student misses a class for any reason, it is the child's responsibility to check Google Classroom.
Please make sure you are checking the PowerSchool Portal for grades.
