Welcome to Our Class!

Thank you for visiting my webpage! I’d like to take a moment to introduce myself. I was born and raised in Oneonta and graduated from Oneonta High School in 1994. I went on to earn my Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education from Auburn University in 1998. Over the years, I've had the pleasure of teaching kindergarten, first grade, and now second grade—my favorite!

I’m married to Mathew Watson, and we have a daughter, Carolyn, who is currently a sophomore at Auburn University. In my free time, I enjoy exercising, baking, and reading. As a family, we love to travel and especially enjoy returning to Auburn in the fall for football games—War Eagle!

Second grade is such an exciting year full of growth and discovery. One of the most important things you can do to support your child’s learning is to read with them regularly. Ideally, your child should read for 20 minutes each night. While second graders are becoming more independent readers, it’s still incredibly valuable for them to hear fluent reading as well. I recommend picking a chapter book and taking turns reading a chapter together each evening—it’s a great way to bond and build strong reading habits.

This year, we’ll be using ParentSquare for all classroom communication. You should be able to connect with our class on ParentSquare during Open House. This platform helps ensure your messages are seen quickly and don’t get lost in a crowded inbox. Please note that while I will do my best to respond promptly, messages received after 5:00 p.m. will be answered the following school day unless it’s an urgent matter.

I’m looking forward to a wonderful year together. Thank you for your continued support!

Warmly,

Tricia Watson
