Hello 3RD Grade Families,
As some of you may have heard, Mrs. Perelewitz’s class is kindly allowing me to be a member of their classroom community for a part of the Spring 2014 semester! So, before my first day in the classroom, I just wanted to give you a little background on myself and thank you for allowing me to be a part of your child’s classroom.
So who am I? My name is Beth Horihan, and I am a student at Loras College where I have been an active member of several organizations and taken part in a variety of activities. Some of these activities include helping start an annual Literacy Day partnership with a local Dubuque school, going on and leading service trips during school breaks, and being a Resident Advisor. I’ve also been a tutor and grader for math classes and been a member of Loras choirs.
I have a major in Elementary Education and endorsements in Early Childhood with Special Education, Strategist I for K-8, and Reading for K-8! I have spent the first nine weeks of my student teaching in Early Access through the Keystone office doing home interventions for children birth through age 3 years-old. I have loved my time in Early Access and getting to know all of the children and their families, so I can’t wait to see what my time at Kennedy brings!
I am so excited about and grateful for the opportunity to be a part of Ms. Perlewitz’s 3RD grade classroom at Kennedy starting after spring break! Even though I have only met the students briefly in December, I can tell that they are going to be a fantastic group to work with. I am looking forward to getting to know you and your children throughout the rest of the year. Please feel free to contact me at elizabeth.horihan@loras.edu if you have any questions! Sincerely,
Beth Horihan
