We are learning new things every day!

This month is MARCH.... In the month of March we have the beginning of daylight savings time so on Saturday March 13th at midnight move your clocks ahead one hour. Remember: Spring Ahead... We also have Saint Patrick's Day on Thursday March 17th. Remember to wear something GREEN!... And finally in the month of March we have the first day of Spring on March 20th.

We will be making paper flowers to give to family and friends this month as an art project. We will be studying the parts of a flower for science, and we will be reading and researching all about the many kinds of flowers here in our area. Lastly we will be planting flower bulbs to take home, too. It's an exciting month for learning!

Extreme weather: If we have another snow storm like the recent one, the school will either call each family about school delay or closures or it will be broadcast on channel 5 KOBI news at sunrise. We value your childs safety first and foremost! Thank You.

What motivates you? I am motivated by and rewarded in my work not by money, accolades, high test scores, and mindful children; but by students who have become academically motivated and process oriented. I find my greatest reward when students, their families, and my peers possess high-level critical and creative thinking skills, positive self-esteem, and mastery of problem-solving mechanisms. I find reward when my work is validated by colleagues who grow professionally and utilize strategies I endorse. I am honored when the students I have taught practice behaviors of respect and high moral standards and character. In short, I do not teach subjects. I teach children!
