Dear Parents/Guardians of my 2009-2010 Students,

I would like to extend my warmest welcome into our classroom for the 2009-2010 school year.  This will be my 17th year in teaching!! My philosophy for learning is that each child is unique, and learns in a different way.  I love to take the "hands on"/"creative approach" to education.  I really look forward to a year full of learning, discovery, and friendship!

**Here is a list of the supplies your child will need for the year!
