Welcome to Third Grade! :)
Welcome to a new school year students and parents! I am so excited to get this year started and have the opportunity to meet all of you. I cannot wait to learn about you and teach you everything you need to know this year. We will have a great year exploring new stories, creating our own stories, discovering the unknown, and figuring out that yes, Math actually is fun! Most importantly, we will be doing this together as a team! That is right! In my classroom, we work together not alone. Isn't it more exciting that way?
I would like to share a little bit about myself. I was born and raised in Weirton, West Virginia. I attended all Hancock County Schools while growing up, and graduated from Weir High School in 1989. I then attended Bethany College where I received a bachelor of arts degree in Communication. In 2002, I received a masters degree in Elementary Education from Duquesne University. I began teaching in the Hancock County School System in 2009. I have been teaching full time at the elementary level for the past four years. This will be my fifth year anniversary as a teacher, so it is an extra special year for me. I am married to David, and have two children, Mason and Kendall, who both attend Weir Middle School. I also have a furry friend named Molly. She is a miniature golden doodle and such a cutie!
There are many important tools we use on a daily basis to keep open communication between school and home. This smart website is my newest adventure! Feel free to browse around and take a look at what this website has to offer. EVERYTHING you need to know is on here when it comes to what is expected in my classroom. I have posted my behavioral plan for you, important school policies, contact information, and much more for you to have at the tip of your fingers at a moments notice. There is also a Google Classroom Calendar which will show you important dates of what is due or when something is scheduled to happen. Like I said, this is new to me, so please bear with me. I feel open communication is the key to any child's success. You will find that there are not a lot of questions you will be wondering about where school is concerned thanks to this belief. Another important daily communication tool I use in my classroom daily is Class Dojo (www.classdojo.com). Class Dojo is THE GREATEST! It is an online site that can also be utilized from an app on your cell phone or via computer that will give you up to date information on how your child is doing each day. I also use Dojo to send you out class messages, as well as private messages, in order to keep the communication flowing. Again, these messages can be received either on the computer or on your phone. My parents LOVED Class Dojo last year and the kids enjoyed it very much as well.
I know we will have an amazing year and I look forward to learning with you and teaching you as much as I can. I only ask two things of my students every day. The first thing is to WAKE UP AND BE AWESOME! The second, WHATEVER YOUR 100% LOOKS LIKE GIVE IT! Who doesn't like to be awesome and give it all they got? I know I do! Here is to 180 days of being awesome and giving it all we've got!
Love,
Mrs. Drobish
