Welcome to Third Grade

Mrs. Amanda Perow

3rd Grade Educator, Slocum Skewes School

Hello families! Third grade is going to be an exciting year with fun-filled learning and unforgettable memories. I am sure that you will be amazed at how much your child will grow this year.

Meet the Teacher:

  *20th year teaching in Ridgefield
  *Taught grades 1-5 with most of those being in 3rd grade

As an educator, my philosophy is to provide an equally positive, challenging, safe and encouraging learning environment for all of my students. I will give them the confidence to be independent thinkers and learners as I guide them in exploring and discovering new things.

Outside of the classroom, I enjoy spending time with my husband, son and daughter at the lake community where we live or in upstate NY. I also enjoy reading and I look forward to my monthly book club meetings with good friends. On the weekends I can be found at a sports field or hockey rink cheering on my children as they play their sports.
