This year will be a great one filled with so many new things to learn and experience. I will be visiting all classrooms teaching a variety of character, social, academic, and emotional skills. I am exciting to spend this time with the children helping them become well-rounded students.  I will also continue to meet with students to help them with any personal needs. Please let me know if there is anything that I can assist you and/or your student to help them be successful this school year. 

 

    New to this year:  Every month I will focus on an important character trait for the students to possess.  The month of January's focus was on being RESPECTFUL.  Each teacher will nominate a student who stood out in showing this trait. Then I will randomly draw a nominee out of a hat for the Terrific Tiger of the Month for each grade.  The month of February's focus is RESPONSIBLE. Please encourage your child to be a RESPONSIBLE student.

 

     I have recently obtained my  certification in the Mindfulness practice.  I am excited to be able to use this training to better assist Ridge View Students. You can follow the link to check-out what mindfulness is: http://www.mindfulschools.org/about-mindfulness/mindfulness-in-education/
