Dear Students and Families,

 

 

It is with great honor that I begin my fourth year at Crescent Harbor Elementary.  Initially the military brought me and my family to Whidbey Island, but the endearing community and our appreciation for the natural beauty of the island made Oak Harbor the ideal home for us.  Teaching is my absolute passion!  I am thrilled to have the opportunity to share my love for learning and discovery with each of my students and their families!  

 

Fourth grade is an important stage in the lives of our children and a time that is filled with academic and social growth. Throughout the day in our classroom you will observe students working collaboratively in small groups, as a whole class group, and at times independently.  I give my students the opportunity to explore our lessons through a variety of learning styles.  I utilize technology, music, rhyme, dance, drama, games, and hands-on activities to help my young scholars successfully achieve each milestone along their fourth grade journey.

 

We love and appreciate our classroom volunteers!  If you would like to donate your time, we have an assortment of volunteer opportunities for you.  Please contact me at mgarcia@ohsd.net, so that we can discuss available volunteer opportunities and I can send you a volunteer application.  I look forward to meeting all of you and working together to make this a wonderful school year!

 

Kind Regards,
