The Ward/Welch class is a combined class of 43(or so, depending on the year) children and two teachers.
Your child’s teachers are Deborah Ward and Rachel Welch. We both taught in a
traditional classroom for several years. Seven years ago we combined our classes.
It was the best decision we ever made. We love teaching and working together
each day. Your child will have the benefit of two teachers, two teaching styles,
flexible grouping, extra remediation, extension, extensive technology
opportunities, and our LOVE!
We are a lively second grade bunch!
While each day is busy, interactive, inquiry based, and sometimes tiring; we
wouldn't change it for the world.
We love each of our students. We enjoy laughing, joking, teasing, and
growing with the children in our class. One of our BEST skills is knowing your
child personally. We "in a week or so" can read their face, smile, expression
body language, etc.
You will soon discover that we are easy to talk to, honest, and always
available as a 'listening ear". We check our email frequently and are more than
willing to help you.
Please feel free to contact us with ANYTHING that you may need. This can
range from praises about your child, concerns, supplies, academics, homework,
life, etc.
Please know that we will end up spending more "awake" hours with your child
each day than you typically will. We promise to love him/her, nurture him/her,
listen to your advice, take your advice, and from time to time offer you
advice.
Our end goal is 180 days of your child growing and us growing from the
privilege of knowing him/her. Which we hope in the end will mean a lifetime of
relationships!
