My name is Elvira Grill, and I am your child’s new
teacher. I wanted to write a short
note to tell you a little about myself.
I have been employed in the Meridian
School District for eight years. I
completed my student teaching at Desert Sage Elementary School in the 1st and
5th grades. In addition to student
teaching, I worked for several years as a teacher’s assistant and in the
Positive Behavior Intervention program at Hunter and Discovery Elementary
Schools, working with students who are emotionally disturbed. Through the years, I have spent a
significant amount of time in a variety of classrooms working with students of
all ages, although my course work was in Early Childhood Education. I have taught both 5th and 1st
grade here at Chief Joseph and am thrilled to be in my fourth year here in
first grade!
I am married and have three
daughters. They are in 4th grade,
7th grade and 10th grade. We enjoy
playing games, listening to music, swimming and just spending time together.
A few quick notes:
·
I encourage students to bring a healthy
snack each day to eat after morning recess, as well as a water bottle to keep
at their desks.
·
While I am very interested in classroom
parent helpers (party planners, etc), I ask that parents give us the first few
weeks to get into our routine before coming. I will send out sign up forms for people who are interested
or feel free to send me an email sooner.
I look forward to working together with
you to make this a successful year.
If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please feel free to
email or call me.
Thank you,
Elvira Grill
