I am so excited to be working alongside your child this year! I know it will be one for the books!

I graduated with my Bachelors in Early Childhood Education and Masters in Curriculum and Instruction from Missouri State University. I am starting my twelfth year of teaching. My husband, Adam, is a Republic alumnus. We have a 7 year old son, a 4 year old daughter, and a 5 month old daughter. Our family runs a large cattle operation where we devote a lot of our time. We love being outside whether it’s involved in sports activities, cattle shows, or just home on our farm. I am also an avid college basketball and football fan! March Madness definitely takes over our household in the Spring.

I can't wait to connect with your child and find out all of the wonderful things about him/her.

Drop off is 8:10-8:30 everyday. Students eating breakfast will go straight to the cafeteria to ensure they are back in their classroom by 8:30. Students who are not eating breakfast at school will come straight to our classroom.

School dismisses daily at 3:30 with the exception of Fridays. Fridays we dismiss at 2:30. If your child will be going home a way other than their normal routine please send a note or call the office first thing. This ensures that I can get your child home safely! While I do try to check my voicemail and email throughout the day this isn't the best way to reach me for transportation changes. If you email or call too late in the day I may not see it until it's too late. The safest bet is for a note to be sent in the morning or for you to call our office (732-3610).

8:10 - Drop Off

8:30 - Class Begins

Here at Schofield we are all about student learning! Our goal is to see at least 80% of students proficient in all areas. Below are the learning objectives we will be looking at and working with this week.

Reading: I can identify nonfiction text features along with their purpose.

Writing: I can build my writing stamina.

Math: I can read, write, and identify whole numbers within 100,000 using base ten numerals, number names, and expanded form

Content: I can identify the border states of Missouri.

WIN Time: We will not start WIN time for another week or two.

We will be setting goals frequently throughout the year as a class. I will post these for you to see our growth as we go.

Math:

Reading:

Schofield's proportional attendance rate for the month so far is ____%. Remember our building level goal is to have a proportional attendance rate of more than 95%.

Schofield Elementary PTO collects box tops. If you send the box tops to school, the PTO will do the rest. Each box top is worth $0.10. They add up quickly and all money collected goes directly to Schofield. Be on the lookout because they appear on all kinds of products. Thank you in advance for your help.

We will be earning Tiger Paws for being safe, respectful, and responsible. As we reach certain levels we will celebrate!
