In the Classroom!

Communication

Should any problems or concerns arise during the year, please do not hesitate to contact me at school after 2:30 p.m. You may also try to contact me by e-mail. However, I normally don't check my e-mails until the end of the day. If your message pertains to your child's transportation or something that is time sensitive please call the office.

Homework

Homework is an important part of your child’s academic growth and self-discipline skills. It reinforces skills and material learned in class and prepares students for upcoming class topics. Homework teaches students to work independently and helps in evaluating their progress.

Your child will receive regular assignments Monday through Thursday. Please check with them nightly until they become accustomed to this habit. Every night they should have a spelling, math, and reading. If your child is ill and unable to come to school but you would like them to have the work they’re missing; a message can be left with the office or send me and email. I will be happy to get the work ready for them.

Wish List

The classroom is always in need of additional supplies to keep it running smoothly. Some helpful items on our wishlist are:

Lysol wipes
small snacks
plates, napkins, cups, forks and spoons

Any assistance you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Ms. Faria's Class

Snacks

Healthy snacks are welcome and encouraged in the classroom. Students are allowed to bring fruit, vegetables, crackers, cheese, pretzels, or granola bars as snacks for the classroom. They are also allowed to bring small bottles of water with a lid to drink in the classroom. I believe they work harder and concentrate better if they are not hungry. Sorry, no sugary treats, or chips will be allowed to be eaten during class time.

Meet Ms. Faria

I have 3 amazing boys. The twins are in college and My oldest is a US Marine. I love being an active part in their lives. Each one is uniquely different and it allows me to experience so many different and exciting things.

I am an avid runner. Although I have participated in marathons and other fund raisers, it is the actual act of running that I love the most. It is the best way to start a day. I meet a dear friend at 4:30 A.M. in a dark parking lot, before the world wakes up, just to make sure I get a little me time. We run until we are out of time and return home to start our day.

I can't wait to get to know you and your child. Here is to a fantastic, and joyful year.:)
