Weekly Reminders:

*The Scholastic Book Fair is running from October 25th to October 29th. If you would like your child to purchase a book or product, please send in money for them in a baggie/envelope labeled with their name. Thanks! 

*On Friday, October 29, 2021, we will be having a Halloween Fun Day! So, please come dressed to school in your regular uniform. After lunch, we will change into our Halloween Costumes. Absolutely no masks, weapons, or face make-up. Please make sure your child’s costume is appropriate for school.

If you would like to bring in a candy treat for the class you may, but this is not mandatory!  If you do bring in a treat, it needs to be prepackaged. We have 16 students in the class! Thank you for your understanding!

Also, along with some Halloween filled activities, we will be watching a movie!  I will let the students decide, we are either watching The Adam’s Family (2019 cartoon), Coco, or Charlie Brown and The Great Pumpkin!  Please let me know if you have a problem with your child viewing any of these movies and I will remove them from the list.  I am looking forward to a fun-filled day!

If you have any other questions of concerns, please email me!

In order to streamline communication, please use my email, molejniczak@olvbasilica.org or contact the office with any questions or concerns. We will no longer be using Class Dojo, so look for a message from School Messanger, Check Google Classroom, or look on our OLV website. Thank you! 

Please have your child wear their gym uniform Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday!

Please bring a water bottle and snack everyday!

Teaching Philosophy: 

Ever since I was a young child, I thoroughly enjoyed going to school.  I decided to continue with my education at SUNY Buffalo State, where I had many experiences working with all types of learners.  For the past two years, I was gained experience working as a lead Universal Preschool (UPK) teacher where I learned the importance of a multi-modal teaching approach.  More importantly, I absolutely love the routine and structure of a positive learning environment.  Therefore, I believe all children should have the opportunity to receive an education that it tailored to their specific needs.  Every child is unique, ultimately possessing their own strengths and weaknesses.  As a teacher, my job is to guide my students in a way where their strengths shine and their weaknesses are improved upon.  Overall, my main goal is to create a learning community filled with respect, empathy, and kindness.
