A Whole Child Approach!
I am so looking forward to getting to know my students and their parents well. It is my hope that we will work in partnership, supporting your child to continue to develop a love for learning that will accompany them throughout their lives. This takes time and attention to detail, but allows your child to be seen and heard in a way that gives them agency to take ownership of their learning!
La Center School District adopted a wellness policy in September 2018 that includes 3 components: Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Social Emotional Learning. In 2020 the district became a "Character Strong" district, using this curriculum to enhance our ability to provide consistent Social Emotional Learning as your child progresses through grades K-12. SEL is a significant focus in my classroom and I will work hard to ensure that your child feels safe and taken care of at all times. Please communicate any special needs your child may have that I might need to address in the classroom.
