Game Day!

Hi Families!

We filled our Warm Fuzzy Jar again! The kiddos have been working really hard to follow directions the first time, participate in all activities and try their best!!! We are really excited to have another game day. On Friday, March 27, 2015 we will spend 40 minutes playing games. If you would like your child to participate in game day, please allow them to bring a game of their choice to school. Please do not send electronics to school. We don’t want them to get lost! If you have any questions or concerns, please call or email. Thank you, Ms. Grimes

Welcome!

Hi, my name is Jaime Chevalier. This coming school year will be my sixth year teaching Kindergarten at Whittier Elementary School!! I just got married this summer and my maiden name was Ms. Grimes. You may hear teachers and mostly former students calling me by my maiden name. It will probably take a while for them to get used to my new name. This summer was busy and fast, but I can’t wait to start another fantastic year in kindergarten! I was born and raised in Frederick, Maryland. I attended Hood College and earned a Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education. I am currently pursuing a Master’s Degree, at Hood College. I am studying Curriculum and Instruction. This year will be my third year as the mentor for new teachers in our building. I'm very excited to continue in this leadership role.

A little bit about me…I love dogs (I have a little 5 lb dog named Emma – which my students will hear all about), being outside and sightseeing! I am one of five wonderful kindergarten teachers this year. My teammates are fabulous and any one of us will be more than willing to answer questions and support your student and family in any way! As primary teachers, we provide a child with their first idea of what school can be. We strive to create a love for learning in each student that arrives in our kindergarten classrooms. Whittier is a great community and we are so lucky to have your student in Kindergarten this year. Welcome to the 2016-2017 school year. I'm looking forward to another wonderful year at Whittier Elementary! As the school year progresses, please check out our classroom blog for updates. I will use the blog a lot this year (take a look at the posts from last year!). I send families a weekly, Sunday update explaining curriculum, goals, pictures and special events. During the first week of school, I will send home a permission slip detailing whether or not you would like your child's picture, name, etc., featured on the blog. Please take time to consider this, the blog is not private and anyone may access it. Thanks, and once again, we are so excited to have your student at Whittier!
