          Hello Meadows Valley,
My name is Topher Wallaert, also known as Mr. T in the classroom. I am really excited to be at Meadows Valley School teaching the 4th and 5th grade. I come from Portland, Oregon where I have lived for over 25 years. This is a new experience for me to live in a small town, but I really think I will like it. I am married to a wonderful woman named Summer, and we have been married for two and a half years. I enjoy coffee, reading, music, weightlifting, and anything that involves spending time with my wife. I look forward to getting to know everyone, and feel free to stop by the classroom anytime during office hours.

Sincerely,
Topher Wallaert

We will be doing a Friday folders this year.  Please make sure you go through the folder with your son/daughter because I will be sending home letters and information about upcoming events, this letter will also be posted on the web page. 

Kindergarten Buddies: 

Once a week, the fourth graders will be traveling to the kindergarten room to work with a kindergartener.  We will be focusing on reading buddies and extend that into language and math games.

If you have any questions, please stop by.  I am available in my room from 7:30 – 7:50 am and after school.  If you would like to schedule a meeting, please call the school at 347-2411. I am looking forward to a fabulous year!
