Welcome! My name is Cathy Patla and I am delighted to have the opportunity to be your child's 4th grade teacher. This will be my 11th year teaching at Liberty School. Prior to this year I have taught both 5th grade and Enrichment.
I expect this year to be both challenging and exciting for your child. In my classroom, I use a variety of whole class, small group and independent learning activities. I will strive to promote high levels of independent learning, cooperation, confidence, responsibility and self-esteem.
I believe that communication between home and school is important. We share many of the same goals where your child is concerned. I, therefore, welcome any questions you may have during the course of the year. Please feel free to contact me at 356-3800 or cpatla@orland135.org .
Classroom Rules:
1. I will follow directions the first time they are given.
2. I will respect others' space and property.
3. I will not use put-down's.
4. I will keep our learning environment safe.
