Dear parents and students,

Welcome to an exciting year of second grade!  I am looking forward to spending the year working with you all.  I hope that everyone had a fun and relaxing summer.  I do want to welcome everyone to second grade and I hope you are all ready for a busy year of learning and growing.

I believe that communication between parents, teachers, and students is very important.  I hope this website will keep everyone informed about what is going on in the classroom.  Hopefully this website will be able to answer any questions you have about current events, classroom policy, or assignments. 

This is my third year teaching at Camelback Academy.  I have always wanted to teach second grade and I am looking forward to working with Ms. Dixon.  Last year I had the pleasure of working with very special students and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with you again. 

I still have the same goal of teaching children to be self sufficiant young people who have a desire to learn.  I want to do more than help students understand the concepts that are taught in the second grade text books.  Students need to have a solid understanding of the six pillars of character and why it is important to use them in life.  I know that if we all work as a team this goal will be realized.

I look forward to spending the year with all of you.  This will be an exciting year full of new experiences.  Please always feel free to stop by the classroom before or after school if there is anything I can do for you.  Thank you for all that you do in making your child the success (s)he deserves to become.

Sincerely,

Ms. Childs
