Hi Everyone! Welcome to Hurffville Elementary School and to 5th grade! Thank you for sharing your "curious caterpillars" with me! I truly look forward to a great 2019-2020 school year!
Your child will be spending approximately 1 hour a day with me for Social Studies MP 1 & 2; then Science MP 3 & 4, and I have the pleasure of sharing our Nation's history. I'm excited about this continued journey and look forward to this adventure. We will cover SO much and the pace is quick, but together, we can do this.
I also am excited to teach your child science and had the wonderful opportunity to attend a week long course in 2016 offered by the NJSTA at Rowan University sponsored by the Maitland P. Simmons Memorial Institute. Everything I learned helped get us fully compliant with the Next Generation Science Standards which have been officially adopted by New Jersey as the New Jersey Student Learning Standards as of the 2017-2018 school year.
Additionally, if your child is in my homeroom, I have the honor of teaching ELA using the Wit and Wisdom curriculum. I have a background in reading and writing which I've always brought into science and now I have the priviledge of teaching the subjects themselves. We will have Literacy Lab, Spelling Connections, and of course the themed lessons associated with Wit and Wisdom.
Also, if your child is in my homeroom, we will have Health together. Health is different now; we will explore not only physical health topics, but also some mindfulness practices as well as character development and social emotional learning using The Positivity Project.
This school year will prove to be challenging, but fun and exciting! Please feel free to contact me with any questions via email or phone. Please allow 24 hours for a response!
Have a wonderful school year!
