Ready to Learn: Weekly video for your kiddo
Please have your child watch this video. It teaches important concepts about learning and how keeping a positive attitude helps him/her as a learner.
Guest Teachers & Our Classroom
When I am out of the classroom, I expect ALL the children to show good character and to do what is right. Of the character pillars above, I especially expect the children to show respect and trustworthiness. I talked to the class and they reflected on what they could have done differently.
I will be out of the classroom again before the end of the school year. Please talk to your child about how he/she is representing themselves, our class, and Erskine Elementary to our guests.
Further, if the guest teacher leaves specific names, I want you to be aware that it could result in disciplinary action.
