Welcome to Ms. Charles' classroom, where we believe in the power of involvement for true learning. Guided by Benjamin Franklin's philosophy, we focus on the uniqueness of each student. Our daily morning meetings foster a strong community spirit, while our curriculum covers literature, social studies, and the importance of community helpers and citizenship. We prioritize responsive classroom management techniques and encourage parent involvement for student success. Please reach out anytime—we're in this together!
