          Hello and welcome to my website!  My name is Danielle Sano, and this is my 19th year teaching first grade at Barclay Brook Elementary School.  I am very fortunate to be teaching in such an amazing school district.   One of the main reasons for creating my website is to communicate with my students and parents.  I feel that teamwork between parents and a teacher is important for a successful year.

I have always had a passion for teaching and I am very lucky to be a first grade teacher.  I love the challenges first grade brings and love seeing the growth in all my students.  I find that teaching first grade is very rewarding because I get to see amazing growth academically and socially.

Teaching has always been very important to me and I believe that it is my job to motivate and to inspire my students so they can be their best.  I have very high expectations for my students as well as myself and I expect them to try their very best every day.  It is my job to instill the love of learning in each of my students.  I believe that all children CAN and WILL be successful learners. I want the children in my classroom to enjoy coming to school each day and look forward to the many new and exciting adventures that we will face throughout the year.    I want them to know that we will work together to beat any new obstacles that they may face. 

My classroom is a nurturing environment filled with love, respect, trust, and lots of fun. I want my students to leave my class at the end of the year with confidence, friendships, and the love to learn.  Together we will all share many great memories and I hope my students will always be able to look back at this experience with positive recollections. I truly love what I do and look forward to going to work every day.

I really hope you find my site useful.  If you would like to learn more about me you can scroll down.  If you have any questions or comments, please send me an email or a note.  I am looking forward to a fantastic year!
