My name is Mrs. Bernick. I want to first welcome you and your child
to Woodland Middle School. This is my ninth year here at Woodland Middle
School. I am excited to be teaching Language Arts on this wonderful sixth
grade Lynx team.
While attending Illinois State University, I was part of a special
student-teaching program at a professional development school. Instead of
student teaching for only a semester, I student taught for the whole year in
fourth and eighth grade classrooms. It was a great experience to be in the
classroom from the beginning to the end of the school year. I graduated in
May of 2002, earning a Bachelor degree in Elementary and Middle School
Education with specialties in the areas of Social Studies, Language Arts and
Reading. After graduation, I was awarded an internship to work in Walt
Disney World for a semester. The experience was incredible! I got to meet
so many different people from all over the world. I also graduated from
Saint Xavier University in December, 2005 with my Masters Degree in Teaching
and Leadership! To further my education, I am continuing to take more
courses.
This year, we will be working a lot on our writing. This includes
extended response, expository, persuasive, and narrative writing. We will
also be reading some novels that I think the students will enjoy. We will
continuously be working on grammar, spelling, vocabulary and reading
comprehension. Organization is the key to success. Your child should be
prepared for Language Arts daily with a binder containing tab dividers, a
folder, and a spiral notebook. It may be helpful if they are all the same
color. Pens, pencils, notebook paper, and a booksock will also be needed. I
am looking forward to this school year. I will make sure to keep you updated.
It will be a good experience for both your child and me. I hope to meet you
very soon!
It is extremely important that parents and teachers stay in contact
to ensure a child's success. If you need to get in contact with me, please
leave a voicemail message at (847) 856-3791 or e-mail me at
ybernick@dist50.net. Also, my homework hotline is updated daily and can be
reached at (847)856-3479. Throughout the year, I also like to have parent
volunteers come in between the hours of 8:00-12:15 to assist with editing and
reading. If this interests you, please let me know. Thanks for your
cooperation!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Bernick
