Thanks for checking out the 4th Grade Web Page at Belmont Elementary School! I am
happy to be living in the beautiful Commonwealth of Virginia as of August, 2006, when
I moved down from Rochester, New York. I received both my undergraduate degree in
Business Management, as well as my Masters Degree in Education (Certified Grades 1-6
in General and Special Education) in Rochester, at St. John Fisher College and
Nazareth College, respectively.
Teaching Objective
My teaching objective is to challenge each student to use their mind and senses; to
guide their intrinsic and dynamic natural progression for learning. My goal is to engage
each student in learning cognitively, affectively, socially and physically in meaningful
activities that facilitate their learning.
Parents
A vital component of each child's success is parental involvement. Providing them
consistent and positive reinforcement, allowing them to try things on their own,
supporting their failures on the path to success, and encouraging them to take risks
are all important facets of their academic and character growth.
Help me teach them to take responsibility and enjoy the rewards of their effort. If
children know we care, they care about their achievement.
Additionally, I welcome any parents/guardians in my classroom at anytime. However, I
can better be prepared for you if we establish some kind of schedule. Please call me or
send me an email/note in the agenda, if you wish to volunteer in the classroom or for
field trips/special events. Also, if you have a special expertise in an area that we are
studying and wish to share, please contact me.
