Dear Parents,
I am so excited that school has officially started! Here are few things to know for the school year:
Snack: Every child is responsible for bringing his/her snack on a daily basis. I highly recommend sending a snack that is healthy and quick to eat. Students will need a morning and afternoon snack Monday-Thursday and one snack on Fridays.
Water Bottles: These are highly encouraged, as it will make accessing water quicker and more often possible. Students will keep these in their backpacks and may pull them out during water breaks or when there is a break during transitioning between activities.
Backpacks: Children need to come to school each day with a backpack.
Thank you for all of your support with these items. I look forward to the opportunity to teach your children and to a great year. Please let me know if you have any questions. My email is nicole.barbera@ppsel.org. Please always feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have.
Very Respectfully,
Mrs. Barbera
Please be sure to read the school handbook regarding uniform policy, fieldwork information and items not allowed at school.
Fall Expedition:
The Colors of Us
In this expedition, students will begin with focusing on the past and present. They will compare their life to those of children in the past. Students will then study art and music from around the world, comparing and contrasting them to other cultures as well as their own. Throughout the expedition, the students will be exposed to various songs and arts from different countries to discover how children from around the world express themselves.
I started teaching at PPSEL in the fall of 2013 and I absolutely love being a part of such an amazing staff and community! I am a Colorado native who loves everything that Colorado has to offer. I graduated from the University of Northern Colorado, Greeley, with a Bachelor’s of Arts degree in Elementary Education. I then went on to complete my Reading Teacher Master's Program from Adams State University.
As an educator, I strive to educate, motivate, and inspire, which are parts of the foundation needed to create lifelong learners. By being a successful educator in these three areas, I strongly believe that my students will be able to meet their full potential both in their learning and personal development.
Outside of the classroom, I can be found cooking, fishing, boating, and spending time in the mountains. My biggest passions are traveling and spending time with family and friends (and my two Labrador retrievers Remi and Tank)!
I am looking forward to another great year at PPSEL!
