Welcome, Welcome! 2011 School Year is Here!

Hello!  My name is now Mrs. Perko!  Yes, I got married!  It was a beautiful ceremony, and spending that day with family and friends was incredible!  We spent our honeymoon in Jamaica, and then we arrived bcd in Washington just in time for softball tryouts to begin.

A few years ago, I graduated from Illinois State with a Master's degree in Reading.  I am passionate about teaching reading, and it is my hope that all of my students can find a love for reading AND writing while experiencing the year with me.  Reading and writing go hand in hand.  One doesn't happen without the other, and it is necessary to learn to do both well!

At the end of the year (yes, I have already received several questions about it from parents and students alike), we are planning on doing the My 3 Words Premiere.  I have some big plans, and I am hoping they all fall into place so we can make the 5th Annual My 3 Words Premiere better than ever!!!  If you don't know about this project, you will soon enough.  If you can't wait, ask anyone who has had me in the past!  I bet they will tell you how incredible it is!  At least I think so!

I thank God for the opportunities given to me each year...to help mold these kids into awesome readers and writers, to help them see how unique and wonderful they ALL are, to guide them to be incredible people and help them strive to meet their goals and soar past any expectations.    I feel so fortunate to have your child in class.  Can't wait to get to know them better! I already love what I see!
