Our Philosophy: We strive to educate our students academically, while also focusing on social and emotional development. This goal is achieved by implementing structures and routines that foster independence as well as encourage a willingness to explore new ideas. We provide our students with the support they need to grow and develop, and recognize the need to let students make discoveries independently. As we grow and develop as a class, we seek to instill an understanding of the importance of respecting the rights and opinions of others. Each year we look forward to learning from our students and growing as teachers.

Our Goals: We would like the students to read with fluency and confidence. Build strong comprehension skills and inspire a love of learning.

We will be celebrating the 100th Day of School on Thursday, February 23. Please remember to bring in your decorated 100th Day Vest and 100 pieces of snack for our 100th Day Trail Mix on this day.

We will also be going on our first field trip on the 100th Day of School. We will be going to the Roundhouse Aquarium in Manhattan Beach. Field trip information and permission slips will be sent home the first full week of February.

I would like to wish Lilly (2/22) and Charlie (2/24) a Happy 7th Birthday!!
