3rd/4th - Sheril Bulley-Simpson
Dear Parents, Guardians, Families, and Friends,
Welcome Back! I am thrilled to have the opportunity to partner with
you and your child this year as we embark upon a time of collaborative
learning. As we work together, I endeavor to facilitate collaborative and
independent learning opportunities within our educational community. In
our classroom setting, I hope to help foster and enhance self-motivation
and independence in each student. I look forward to what I know is going to
be a successful year and to working with you and your child. Working
together is key to this success.
To help us get started on our learning path this school year, I have
requested the support of Russell “Rusty” Fuller as I recover from a medical
procedure I had over the summer. Rusty, who is familiar with most of the
children in the class and the grade level teaching team, will support our
class as guest teacher until the end of October. At that point, I should be
fully recovered and ready to join the journey. Here’s to a great school year!

3:18pm. (Students can enter the class at 8:10am.) Attendance is taken
after 8:20am.
Curriculum – While I plan to use multiple sources that effectively enhance
instruction and provide learning goals, I will base the scope and sequence
on the curriculum chosen for the school, school district, and projects based
on my expertise in each of the subject areas. (Bridges Math, MAISA for
ELA, Science, and Social Studies, etc.) We will also incorporate time for
project based learning for students to engage in learning topics of their
choosing, independently or with partners and small groups.
