Notes For Parents

Parents: Your child brought home a spelling bee list last week (week of April 26). Please have your child review the words. We have had a few "sample" spelling bees in the classroom to help prepare the students. There will be three students chosen per team/grade for the final spelling bee which will be held towards the end of May.

About the Teacher

 My name is Mrs. Ruth Beltran and I have been teaching second grade at FFA for four years. I previously taught first grade in Macon, Georgia for seven years and kindergarten for ten years in Bear, DE. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education. I have also taken several Master level classes in education. One goal I have for the near future is to go back to school to become a Reading Specialist.

 I really enjoy teaching elementary school and think it is very rewarding especially when a student says, "I understand now. I think I am getting it!"

In my spare time, I enjoy walking and bike riding with my husband. I also like watching cooking shows in hopes that it will help improve my culinary skills!
