Teacher Tuesday - Laurie Slezak, Rocky Point Elementary! 🎨📖 With 22 years of experience in education, Laurie Slezak has dedicated her career to helping kids succeed and be the best they can be! Her passion for teaching shines through in every interaction with her students. 🌟 Laurie loves teaching English and Art, finding joy in both creative expression and the power of language. Some of her most cherished moments happen outside the classroom—when former students recognize her, call out her name, and give her hugs. "Once my kid, always my kid." 💙 Outside of school, Laurie enjoys spending time with her family and relaxing at the beach. She also has a creative side and loves to paint and express herself through art. 🎨✨ While she no longer has pets of her own, she proudly claims her "Grandogs" as part of the family. 🐾 Laurie has a love for travel—having visited Ireland and Scotland, two places she adored. Next on her dream destination list? Bora Bora! 🌴✈️ Her teaching philosophy is simple yet powerful: "You can learn just as much from the students as they can learn from me!" It’s a mindset that fosters mutual growth and makes every day in the classroom an opportunity for discovery. Thank you, Ms. Slezak, for your dedication, creativity, and the lasting impact you make on your students! 👏🎉

📚TEACHER TUESDAY - Jessica Feit, 4th Grade Teacher at Rocky Point Elementary!🌟 From an early age, Jessica Feit had a passion for teaching—so much so that she would come home from kindergarten and “teach” her newborn baby sisters and even her pets! 🍼🐶 As she grew older, that passion turned into a commitment to helping students, especially those who needed extra support. Her favorite subject to teach is math, where she thrives on witnessing that "ah-ha" moment when a difficult concept finally clicks for a student. One of her most memorable teaching moments was working with a student who struggled with confidence in math. Through a personalized study plan and encouragement, she watched him transform into a top math student—ultimately scoring a 4 on the EOG! Seeing students gain confidence and unlock their potential is what drives her every day. 🔢✨ Outside the classroom, Jessica enjoys reading, running, going to the beach, and dining out. She has recently taken up crafting as a way to unwind after a long day of teaching. 🎨🏖️ At home, she has two adorable kittens, Scout and Piper. Scout is the mischievous one, always getting into trouble, while Piper is more reserved—but both love their belly rubs and head pats. 🐱🐾 Jessica is also an avid traveler! Her favorite destination so far has been Madrid, and she’s looking forward to exploring Prague and Vienna this year. ✈️🌍 This school year has had its challenges, but Jessica’s personal mottos—"You're doing great, sweetie" and "Just keep swimming"—keep her motivated and remind her to take things one step at a time. 💙🐠 Thank you, Ms. Feit, for your dedication, passion, and the incredible impact you make on your students! 💛👏

Mrs. Bassano's kindergarten class and Mrs. Weber's 5th grade class are pen pals! This activity provides learning opportunities for our kindergarten students to work with their 5th-grade role models, practice writing, and strengthen connections with their current Wit & Wisdom module, "America Then and Now," by writing letters instead of emailing or texting. Try teaching your student how to write and address a letter to mail to a loved one; it's a great experience!
