Dear Families,

Welcome to (..) grade! I am looking forward to getting to know you and your child, as
well as working together to help your child succeed! First, I would like to take this opportunity
to give you a brief outline about myself. I have lived in Saratoga Springs, New York most of my
life. I earned my Associates in Liberal Arts: Math and Science from SUNY Adirondack and
eventually my Bachelor’s Degree in Mathematics with a minor in Elementary Education from
Castleton University. (Add master’s info once attained) I am the youngest of 2 and our parents
are both educators, therefore I have always said that teaching was in my blood!

I adore teaching and expanding our youth’s knowledge. Furthermore, throughout our
journeys together, we will mutually learn and teach each other many new things. I aspire to set
good examples and to be a positive role model – just as many educators of my youth had
inspired me to pursue this career!

During this semester, I am interested in learning about my students and adapting to

help in what they know and/or what they need. I intend on thoroughly going through
curriculum and adjusting to ways students adhere the knowledge best. My goal is to install a
lifelong passion of education in all my students. I plan to fulfill my full potential of becoming a
good educator. I personally think a big part of getting there is gaining experience with all those
involved – so may we learn new things and grow together!

Expectations for my students are as follows:

(518)649-0383 or email me at (email). It is important to keep communication open and I would
love to converse if you feel the need. I look forward to a great year together!
