Vesper Community Academy is a great place for children to learn and grow together.  I am so proud to be a part of this amazing school.  I appreciate working with parents and community members to reach our students in many ways.

When you enter my classroom, you will hear the students using kind words and practicing breathing exercises.  The students also work to show cooperation, assertion, responsibility, empathy, and self-control.  We work to be better people academically and socially.  We have great kids!   

Here are some things that you can do at home to support your child's learning:

• Read each night for at least 15 minutes
• Practice writing (grocery lists, stories, letters to friends/family, etc.)
• Encourage neat handwriting
• Do simple math problems (basic addition and subtraction facts)
• Use sidewalk chalk to write basic sight words outside or simple math problems
• Help your child tie shoes
• Find websites or apps that are specific for first grade learning targets

Together we will have a marvelous year!
