Welcome to our Class!

I am pleased to take this opportunity to introduce myself and welcome your child to our class. I look forward to the upcoming challenges and celebrations that teachers, parents and students will experience together!

I have a Master’s Degree in Elementary Education from Alvernia University, with an undergraduate degree in psychology from the University of Delaware. I worked as a social worker, then became a teacher while serving in the Peace Corps in the Republic of Vanuatu, which is located in the South Pacific. I’m grateful for both experiences because I know I love working with children and absolutely love teaching!

My family keeps me very busy.  We have four children; Julia, Nathan, Giavonna, and Anthony. My two oldest are in college, the third oldest is starting college this year, and my youngest is in high school.  We have a black lab mix dog named Winnie.  She is named after one of my favorite books, Winnie the Pooh.

I believe that a good learning experience is built on a cooperative effort between parent, child, and teacher. My expectations of conduct and academic standards are high, as we build a classroom community that is challenging, supportive, and enjoyable. With your support, we can look forward to a productive, creative, and fun year together.

Again, welcome. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. You may call and leave a message on my voicemail during the school day, or e-mail me at any time. I will respond as soon as I am able. I look forward to getting to know you and your child.

Mr. Chris Wentling
