Katie Wolfe



Dear Families,

Welcome to Third Grade! I am so excited about beginning a new school year. I hope you are too.

I would like to take a minute to tell you about myself. My name is Katie Wolfe. I have lived in Kansas City, Kansas all my life. I attended Bishop Ward High School and I am a graduate of Pittsburg State University. This is my third year teaching third grade at Resurrection School.

The first few days of a new school year can be an anxious time for the children and the teachers! We will be spending several days learning procedures and routines to help our classroom run smoothly. My goal is for every child to feel important and to have a positive learning environment. Working together, we can all make third grade a memorable and rewarding year. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any concerns you might have throughout the year. My email is kwolfe@ressurectionkck.org. I am looking forward to a fun and educational year with your child.

Sincerely,

Miss Wolfe
