**I wanted all my kids to know that I am thinking of all of you during this difficult time and hope that you are all well. I miss you all.  For my 5th-8th graders, I'm very proud of the work you have been handing in.  Keep it up!  Have a great week. Stay safe and healthy.**

Hello to all my wand-erful SAS families.  I'm very excited to be working with your children this year. I am a graduate of TESU and NPTNJ program.  I began teaching Technology and Media at St. Mary School in Bordentown in 2003 and taught there for 10 years.  When the school was closed, I taught Tech at St. Paul School-Burlington, and then 5th grade at St. Charles Borromeo-Cinnaminson, 4th grade at SAS for three years, and 3rd grade for 1 year.  I am extremely blessed with three children.  My son is a Senior at Rutgers University where he is majoring in Physical Therapy and Captain of the Golf team, my eldest daughter is a Sophomore at Kean University where she is majoring in Fine Arts, and my youngest daughter is a Senior at Bordentown Regional High School.  I am very proud of their accomplishments and can't believe just how quickly they have grown.  If you ever need to contact me, please feel free to email me at kmeyer@st-ann-school.org.

This is a very exciting year.  Our classroom theme, Full STrEAM Ahead with Technology - Harry Potter, is in full swing throughout our room.  We still have our class pet named Beary Potter who gets to go home each weekend with one of my third graders.  Beary has traveled all over the East Coast.  I'm a little jealous at all his travels over the years.  The student of the week gets to journal all that they do with Beary while he is staying with them.  Beary has his very own bed, clothing, and a replica of Hogwarts made by some of my former students.  He is well loved and taken care of every year.  We are reading the Harry Potter series in third grade.  I'm very excited to read this with them and bring our theme to life, and every year we read further into the series.  One year, we made it more than halfway through the 4th book.  It was amazing.  

I firmly believe that "teachers who love teaching teach children to love learning" and that is what I hope to bring to all the kids.  I want them to become strong, independent people who will always be curious and think outside the box.

The link listed below is a Webmix where the students can find many Web Sites we use in class...https://www.symbaloo.com/shared/AAAAASBsz9MAA41-4KE0Ww==
There are several math sites that I recommend to supplement their learning as well:  www.khanacademy.com and www.aaamath.com.  
Of course, there are also a few sites that I recommend for science.  They are as follows: http://www.sciencebuddies.org and https://www.sciencefaircentral.com/.  Check them out.
