Dear Parents,
Welcome to Calvary Christian School!
Many of you have had your children here for
years, but for those of you that are new, my name is Mrs. Wallace, aka Mrs.
Wally. I have been teaching for 26 years, mostly at the lower elementary level.
This year I am your child’s reading teacher. I will be doing a daily pull out for
children in the third and fourth grades as I teach them reading and language to
each grade.
It is my hope and goal to not only teach the
mechanics of writing, but to also incorporate writing into the daily lives of
the students. When this happens, I hope it will become as natural as breathing.
The beauty of the spoken and written Word was designed by God. It was given as
a gift from the Father to instruct, reproof, and causes us to love like He
does!
It is also my goal to help each child become a
good listener. When we learn to listen, then we become better readers and
writers. It is my desire to partner with you to help your child to have
excellence in all areas of language. We are excellent because God is excellent!
I have many fun and exciting activities planned
for third and fourth grades this year! It is my hope, that as we focus on the
Lord, we will we will use our God given talents to glorify Him, and that you as
parents will be blessed by your child’s progress!

following way:
