Good day boys, girls, and parents. My name is Robert Fillis (or Mr. Fillis for short) and I will be your third grade teacher this year. Can you believe that summer is just about over and we are about to start back up with school? I certainly cannot believe it! With that being said, I am excited to be your teacher this year and we are going to have a lot of fun. We will be going on field trips, learn about incredible things like math, science, and history just to name a few and we will also be doing some fun yet random things that I think you all will enjoy. Allow me to tell you a little bit about myself.

I am 21 years old and I was born on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. I did not spend my entire life here because when I was 10, I lived in the Carolinas for some time before I settled back down on the Shore. I graduated from Salisbury University with my degree in Elementary Education with a minor in creative arts. I have a Yellow Labrador whose name is Nikki. She is 6 years old and a real bundle of joy to be around. You might even get to meet her sometime this year! I also have a strange obsession with koalas which is why you might see a picture of a koala on the top of screen above this message. Other interests of mine include touring/playing music in my band A Dying Breed, going to concerts, and playing hours of non-stop basketball. I am also a huge sports fanatic and I love to watch football, basketball, baseball, and hockey. Basically, I watch anything that involves competition. Music is one of my greatest loves too and we will have a lot of music in our classroom this year whether if we are reading, doing classwork, or even at recess. I love all kinds of music so what I want you to do before you come in on the first day of class is to bring in a list of 5 of your favorite songs. This is because I will be making a playlist of music throughout the year and we will be listening to all those songs at some point in time. Consider this your summer "homework" but in a good way.

Like I said before, I am thoroughly excited to be your teacher this year. And parents, if you have any concerns or questions that you would like to ask me, DO NOT hesitate to contact my cell phone number at (443)-523-2417 or shoot me an email at rf79541@gulls.salisbury.edu. I will always have my phone/iPod or computer around so that I can check emails and I will respond as soon as I possibly can.

Well, I have to get going because I need to get some final details ready but I am looking forward to being your teacher. And as we say in the South; "See y'all later!"

Regards, Mr. Robert Fillis
