Miss Wilson has been teaching for 14 years and coached for several years at the elementary and high school levels.
Miss Wilson feels that education must be approached with the expectation of diversified learning. Each day is filled with the challenge of assessing various learning styles. Through the use of many activities, material, and audio and visual aides, every student is offered an equal opportunity to learn. Miss Wilson is preparing us for life situations.

Authentic Assessments: The Oreo Project was a great success!  Great job students and keep up the awesome work!  Penguin report/project to begin soon.  All will be completed at school.

  

Each week students are required to complete their Reading and Math Log. At the beginning of each week, the Logs will be due.  Every student will have read at least 100 minutes and have completed 40 minutes of math fact practice. The logs must be signed by an adult.

At the end of each week students will bring home a purple conduct folder and an orange take home folder.  Both of the folders require a parent signature and they should be returned the first day back after the weekend.  The take home folder should be emptied and any papers marked sign and return should be signed and returned in the take home folder.
