I am getting really excited about this new school year! This year I am upstairs in the Children's Center room 225, the Resource Room. That means I will be working with children individually and in small groups to reinforce strengths, remediate weak areas and enhance their success in the classroom. This is also the room where children will come for scheduled study time during the week.
