I can schedule a conference on Monday, Wednesday, or Friday. Please call or email me to schedule in advance at least 48 hours. I will respond within 24 hours. I look forward to speaking with you and being a partner in your child's education. If you have any questions at all, or are concerned about anything (little or big), let me know immediately. I will do my best to solve any problems. Your child is very important to me!

If you are interested in volunteering for my class, please let me know. Once the year gets started, I will need a few parents/grandparents who would be happy to come and read, work on sight words, or any other skills, with my students.

Here are some skills to be working on now at home:
* Writing/recognizing first and last name, with the first letter being capital and all the other lowercase.
* Recognizing all the letters and be able to verbally say letter sounds.
* Recognizing simple sight words: I, see, no, yes, dad, mom, a, an, am, and, to, do, like (and color words)
* Counting to 25.
* Recognizing numerals 1-20.
* Tying own shoes without help.
* Zip and button own pants without help.
