LAWRENCE PALADIN » First Grade : Mr. Paladin

First Grade : Mr. Paladin

Welcome to the first grade! My name is Larry Paladin, and I am a first grade teacher here at Sunset Valley Elementary. 

 

I have been teaching since 2000, and I am excited to spend this year in the first grade!  Previously I taught in third and fourth grade both here at Sunset Valley and at Stewartsville Elementary.  Before working at Norwin, I taught first through third grade in Pittsburgh.

 

I have two children of my own, a son in twelfth grade and a son in tenth grade.  I also have three guinea pigs that I usually bring into the classroom at some point.  

 

I enjoy gardening, hunting, and fishing in western PA.  My family and I like to go camping as much as possible.  We also all enjoy watching sports together.

 

 

 I have listed a few notes below for you to see.

 

  1. Message Center

 

I will be using the skyward message center on a regular basis this school year.  The daily homework will be posted, and I will also post other important information.  If you need to sign up for family access, just go to norwinsd.org and follow the prompts on the left-hand side.

The rules in the classroom are as follows:
