Kernersville Elementary

Dear Third Graders,

Hello and welcome to Mr. Presley’s third grade class at Kernersville Elementary!  I am excited to have you as my student.  I look forward to getting to know you and your family during this fun and productive year. 

I hope you have enjoyed your summer!  I had a wonderful summer enjoying activities such as:  taking a family beach trip, running a 5k, relaxing by the pool, and even sleeping late a few days.  Well, maybe more than a few days, but who’s counting. I have a wonderful wife of twelve years and a ten year old son.  My son also attends Kernersville Elementary.  I enjoy camping, martial arts, pottery, music and spending time with my family.  I can’t wait to learn what you like to do.

Get ready for a wonderful year of learning using the new Common Core standards.  These Common Core standards are set standards that were established to clearly convey what is expected of students at each grade level nationwide.  What does this mean for North Carolina and its students?  It means I will be preparing my students better for success in college and career paths.  No need to stress!

I hope that you find our classroom and Kernersville Elementary to be warm and friendly places to learn.  I am excited for the first day of school and the opportunity to be your teacher.
