Dear Parents,
Welcome back to Anansi Charter School! I am honored and
excited for the opportunity to work with you and your student. I am looking forward to the learning we will
do together in the coming school year.
Although I recognize many familiar faces, I’d like to introduce
myself for the sake of those new to me. I
moved to Taos in 1989 and began teaching over 15 years ago. I
have taught 3rd grade through High School with specific emphasis in
Science and Mathematics. I’ve also
taught abroad, including a 2 year stay in Ecuador teaching 4th
grade. I am blessed with a beautiful
family with whom I rock climb, ski and garden.
My 6 year old daughter Sophie also attends Anansi and is super excited
that her Mom will be on campus this year! I am equally delighted to be
returning to the elementary classroom at such a lovely and successful
school.
During the upcoming year, your student and I will build upon the
learning they gained last year.
Mathematics will emphasize multiplication and division, geometry and
problem solving; Language arts will include guided literature analysis, writing
projects, vocabulary development, grammar and spelling; Social studies will
focus primarily on New Mexico history while Science will explore the human
body, forces and motion, earth’s materials, and weather. Homework will be given on a regular basis and
enriching projects will be sent home for additional support throughout the
year.
Anansi Charter encourages open communication between home and
school. If you need to speak with me,
please do not hesitate to get in touch with me.
I am available most afternoons after school for a brief check-in. Mornings I am less available as I’m busy
preparing for the day’s learning. I also
have office hours on Tuesday from 1-3pm if a longer meeting is desired. My email is kafarewell@gmail.com.
Thank you for your support. This year is going to be a blast!
Sincerely and with gratitude,
