Year 3 BFES Introduction

Good Afternoon!

My name is Mrs. Krause and I am so excited to continue being apart of the Birmingham Falls family this year! This is my third year at BFES. I learned so much over the last two years, and I know this upcoming year is going to be even more incredible! I am pleased to be teaching Humanities (ELA/Reading/S.S) this year. I have a love of world history, and I always enjoy telling the significant moments of our world as if it is a continuous story. We are also focusing on literacy this year. You will see an enormous difference in not only their reading ability but also their writing abilities during this school year to help assist in the preparation for middle school. I am a goal-oriented teacher, so my first goal is to learn everyone's name by day 2. Last year my goal was by day 3, which was too easy. I learned long ago the best impression I can make to my students on the first few days of school was to learn their names. I know some students and parents will visit this blog after speaking to me in order to learn more about me and where I come from. First, I have two dogs (technically my parent's dogs).  I talk about them a lot during our Lucy Calkins time because they are apart of many small moments in my life. Second, I am originally from New Jersey, however I completed high school at Roswell High School. I completed my bachelor's degree at the College of Charleston and my master's degree from the University of Georgia. Third, I spent some time working at Haynes Bridge Middle School where I taught 6th and 7th grade Reading for the 2014-2015 school year. This job gave me an opportunity to enlighten my 5th grade students and parents about the expectations for middle school. Lastly, I am recently engaged, so not only will I be planning for school but also for a wedding next June.

This school year is crucial for student success in middle school as well as their future. I believe in teaching students beyond the standards. I want to ensure all students leave my classroom with skills that help them become even better versions of themselves. Three things your child will undoubtedly learn this school year is
1) Accountability
2) Time Management
3) Personal Responsibility

My expectations this year are....
1) To make it the best elementary school year yet and prepare every student for middle school!
2) To ensure every student feels smart throughout the school year.
3) To strengthen all aspects of your learning!
4) To read various texts and make connections!
5) To learn about crucial parts of history that influences our lives today.

See you soon!
