Hello,

My name is Stacy Kessler and I will be teaching the AIG scholars in the 2017-18 school year.  Mrs. Patti Carr has retired and is hoping to head to Wilmington to spend time with her family.

I have been working with Brassfield Families for the past six years as a track 2, 4th grade teacher.  I decided to begin pursuing my AIG licensure in January through DUKE and will complete all of my classes in December of 2017.

I would like to create an imaginative and welcoming space, in hopes of inspiring the scholars thinking.  If you have any yoga balls, beach chairs, bean bags, or any other creative seating item, we would love to use it in our room.  Also, I thought that each child could paint a 8 by 10” canvas on what they believe represents Imagination, creativity, ingenuity.  I will put them up in the room and when they leave Brassfield to move on, they may take their picture as a memory of their time in AIG.

Please always reach out with any questions.  I look forward to meeting each of you.  Please drop in and say hello as I am looking forward to working with your child and family.  Here is list of ways that we can “keep you in the loop” with your child’s learning.

I do need a few supplies for your child.  If you could please have your child bring;

• Composition Notebook

• Blank 8 by 10’ canvas frame that we can mount on the wall

The wish list throughout the year is;

• Clorox Wipes
• Kleenex
• Pencils
• Flexible seating

Thank you for your time and I envision a successful and adventurous year.

Sincerely,

Stacy Kessler

Welcome to the 2017-18 school year!

Hello Brassfield Families,
    This year offers me a new opportunity and challenge as I take on the role of the AIG teacher at Brassfield Elementary.  I have been teaching 4th grade, track 2, for the past six years at Brassfield but I am very excited as I take a new role in my career.  I am currently enrolled at DUKE working on my AIG certification and will graduate in December 2017.
     Please stop in to see me and introduce yourself and those families that I have worked with in my tenure at Brassfield, stop in to say hello.  I look forward to an exciting year ahead.
   

Learning Experience with Mr. Colon on June 27th - Check it out! We hope to see you there.

Hello Parents and Guardians!

I am excited to announce that your 4th Grader has been studying classical works in Music, and has approached directed listening through the lens of storytelling. Storytelling is rooted within our culture and has been a way to express the creative mind. Your student has created stories to supplement musical works and has transformed these stories into different medias (Artwork, poems, etc) to share with you! You are invited to join our Presentation Day on the following dates! During the presentations students will explain their creations while playing their classical works. These presentations will occur during their regular Specials  time (9:20-10:05). I am very excited for the students to have this opportunity to share their creativity with you! I hope to see you there!
