Dear Parents,
Wow – it’s already that time of year again! Welcome back to Anansi Charter School! I
am honored and excited for the opportunity to work your child. By partnering together, we will be able to
inspire and support your child’s success and create yet another fabulous school
year!
I’d like to introduce myself.
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 2 years in
Ecuador teaching 4th grade. I
am blessed with a beautiful family with whom I rock climb, ski and garden. My 8 year old daughter Sophie also attends
Anansi. It’s been a win-win situation
for this working mommy!
During the upcoming year, your student and I will build upon the
learning they gained last year.
Mathematics will emphasize multiplication and division, fractions and
problem solving; Language arts will include guided literature analysis,
writing, vocabulary development, grammar and spelling; Social studies will
focus on New Mexico while Science will explore the human body, forces and
motion, earth’s materials, chemistry, and weather. Homework will be given on a regular basis and
enriching projects will be sent home throughout the year.
Anansi Charter encourages open communication between home and
school. If you need to speak with me,
please do not hesitate to approach me. I
am available most afternoons after school for a brief check-in. However, in the mornings I am less available
as I’m busy preparing for the day’s learning.
If you desire a longer meeting, we can schedule an appointment. My email is kfarewell@anansi.acstaos.org and I check it regularly. I have also created a class BLOG where information
will be posted about our 4th grade class activities, snack calendars
and homework. Check it out at www.anansi4thgrade.blogspot.com.
Thank you for your support. This year is going to be a blast!
With gratitude,
Kelly Farewell (Aka Miss Kelly)
