Dear Parent or Guardian:
Hello. I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself and express my excitement about working with your child this year. My name is Mrs. Melissa Durant and I am going to be your child's ELA teacher. I love teaching English because I care deeply about each of my students and have a true passion for reading and writing.
Although I am consistently learning new things, I have a great deal of experience in the classroom. I am enthusiastic in the classroom; thus creating an atmosphere for learning to take place in a variety of ways. I address the interests of the students while bridging their interests with the curriculum. It is important for information to be presented so students can see the relevance of the curriculum. My passion is for my students to feel welcomed in my class and to feel at ease to be themselves, while respecting others. I anticipate a very successful year.
Additional information about my class, the rules and expectations, and assignments can be found on my classroom website (http://www.MrsDurantELA.weebly.com). The classroom website will be updated weekly. You can also ask your child to log into their Google account to access our Google Classroom where you can also see more updates. Please check it often.
Also note that if you ever have any comments, questions or concerns, I am available for phone calls and meetings (by appointment please). To schedule a meeting, you may contact me via email at [email protected] or (518)529-7342 ext. 4205.
I am very excited to be working with your child and look forward to meeting you too. I welcome questions or comments, and am looking forward to a great year!
Sincerely,
Melissa Durant
