Dear 5th grade Families,
I can’t believe it’s that time of year again! It feels like it wasn’t that long ago since we were blowing bubbles outside VES and celebrating our students transitioning onto middle school!
Well, August is here! J I’d like to take the time to personally welcome you to the 5th grade team here at Veterans Elementary. My name is Mrs. Folks. I am the 5th grade Team Leader at Veterans and I will be your child’s teacher for the 2014-15 school year. I have been teaching at Veterans Elementary since it opened in 2007. This is my 2nd year in 5th grade as a General Educator. Before coming to 5th grade, I taught ESOL and 4th grade here at VES.
So, let me tell you a little about myself. I am originally from Upstate New York and I have lived here in Maryland with my husband for about 11 years. Boy, does time FFLLYY!!! When I am not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family, which includes my 4 year-old son. He keeps me quite busy! Oh, and let’s not forget about the first baby of the house, Terra. Terra is our family dog. She is a Boxer/ Pitt mix.
I completed my Undergraduate and Graduate studies at Notre Dame of Maryland University. I have a Bachelor’s in Elementary Education and a Master’s Degree in Teaching English as a Second Language (ESOL). When I am not teaching Elementary students, I teach adults English at Howard Community College.
In my spare time I love shopping, spending time with my family, traveling and just reading a good book!
I am truly excited about the opportunity to get to know both you and your child! I am looking forward to working together and helping your child reach his or her individual goals. Soar to Excellence!!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Folks
