Hello and welcome back! My name is Stacey Shirk, I will be your child's first grade teacher. I have three children of my own. My daughter will be a senior in H.S. this year, I have a son that will be in 10th grade and a son going into 8th grade. I have been at Canyon Springs since it opened and have taught first grade since I have been here. Prior to my coming to Canyon Springs, I taught second grade. I absolutely LOVE teaching first grade.The growth that takes place in first grade, is amazing. First grade is an extremely important year for your child. This is the year that a solid foundation of education must be put in place.
I will spend a lot of time at the beginning of the year creating a sense of community in the classroom. It is important that your child feels comfortable in the classroom, in order for maximum learning to occur. In addition, I spend a lot of time on classroom procedures and classroom management, which is extremely important for the year to run smoothly. We have a lot of curriculum to cover this year. We will begin our day promptly at 8:15 so we can meet all of our goals each day.
An All About First Grade information packet will be given out onThursday, August 11th at meet the teacher night and curriculum night. If you are unable to attend I will send it home on Monday. Please read this, it should answer all of your questions. If you have questions, please feel free to email me. Thank you so much. I am looking forward to a fantastic year!
Thank you,
Stacey Shirk
