Welcome to first grade at Cram Elementary!  I am so thrilled to be your child’s 1st-grade teacher and I know this will be an awesome year!  A quick introduction; my name is Mrs. Burgess.  I graduated from California State University Northridge with a Bachelor's in Elementary Education and a California Elementary Teaching Credential. I completed my Masters in Instructional Technology.  I enjoy bringing technology into my classroom to create a blended learning environment. I have been at Cram for over 8 years. 

     For your child’s journey to be successful, it is essential for me to understand that each child is a unique individual with special qualities and needs.  With the support of students and families, we will create a classroom environment that will recognize and respect individuality. To support each student’s learning, I will create a classroom that offers a variety of meaningful teaching styles so that each child will have the opportunity to succeed. The children will grow and learn at their own rate. I invite you to play an active role in your child’s education by talking with your child each day about their learning, reading together every night, and communicating with me.

     I want there to be open communication between us.   If at any time you have a question, I will be happy to talk with you.  Either, write me a note, give me a call, or email me and I will try to respond as soon as possible. I want you to feel well-informed throughout the year. I will be posting crucial information and newsletters through Aeries Communication or parent square. If you have yet to joined please do so ASAP.
