To always be kind and caring.  Don't hurt others feelings.  Get to know someone before you judge them.  Be a leader, not a follower.  And don't blend in, when you were BORN TO STAND OUT!

I just want my students from last school year to know that I always think about my first Fifth Grade Class and miss you all so very much!  I hope you are doing well in Middle School and I hope you remember to be the person with the BIG HEART!  XO 

I have such a wonderful class this year!  I can't wait to meet their parents!

I saw two great dancers last Friday.  I am wondering what talent I will see in my classroom this upcoming Friday.  Thanks for sharing your talents with the class boys!

I am so excited to have some Dallas Cowboy fans in my class this year! 

I was so excited to meet my students today.  We had a very HOT but great day!  I know each and every student in my class has a BIG HEART!!!  Can't wait to have a great school year!

Parents, it has come to my attention that it might be difficult to purchase a 2 1/2 inch binder.  Many stores do not stock this size.  Therefore, please feel free to purchase a  2 inch binder, it is not necessary to go from store to store.  I know how little time there is in a day!  If you have any questions about the supply list, please feel free to comment & I will respond asap!  I can't wait to meet my new Fifth Grade Class! :-) 

I just received my class list for the 2012/2013 school year.  I am very excited to meet all of my new students and am looking forward to working at John Pearl!
