Friday, November 8, 2019 (Update!!)UPDATE! 11/15/19 - Thank you for your support of music education at Fairburn. Room 17's DonorsChoose project for ukuleles was fully funded as of this Tuesday. I am so looking forward to teaching our children how to play the ukulele!
Adventures in Music with Ukuleles! I've posted a new DonorsChoose project that will provide Room 17 with the funds to purchase 11 ukuleles for our class. I hope to teach students how to play the ukulele in small groups during the day and in a small after school club once a week during the spring semester. If you would like to help make my music-making dream for Fairburn's kids come true, please check out my DonorsChoose page. Any donations made with the match code BLASTOFF at checkout will automatically be doubled!
Theater class begins this Wednesday with our amazing theater teacher from the LAUSD Arts Education Branch, Ms. Flanagan. All students should wear comfortable clothing to allow for plenty of movement.
Tuesday, August 27, 2019Thank you for joining me on Back To School Morning! It was a pleasure to meet all of you and to share what the year has in store for us. If you'd like to refer to the Prezi presentation I used today, you'll find it here.
Also, I'd appreciate learning more about your child with this file: 
Tuesday, August 20, 2019We had lovely first day. How happy I am to welcome this newest group of 2nd graders to Room 17, on this my 18th year as a teacher! A packet of papers was sent home today that includes 9 forms for parents to complete and return to me ASAP. Thank you!
The homework load will be very light this week, with a few worksheets assigned through Thursday. The first homework packet will be sent home next week. Summer 2019 - July/AugustI'm pleased to announce a new DonorsChoose project that is now more than halfway funded! I've written a grant for musical instruments for our class to use in integrated storytelling and language projects, as well as activities in musical composition. To learn more, and support this project (let's help my students become composers!), visit Sound, Song, and Stories. Any gift made towards this project will be doubled if you use the code THRIVE.

Go to Documents --> Homework Assignments under the drop-down menu to view and print homework assignments.
I will be providing photocopied packets of reading-language arts homework to the students for the next two weeks (9/2 and 9/9). During that time, there is no need to print out homework unless students lose or forget their homework. After two weeks, reading homework will be available only online.
Math homework sheets will be sent home with students for the entire year, but they will be available for download on this site as well.
