Who
is the New Principal??? |
|
Hi,
My
name is Corey Miklus and I am the new Principal at
Nellie H. Stokes Elementary. I am a native of
Pennsylvania where I received my undergraduate degree in
Elementary Education from East Stroudsburg University.
I
moved to Delaware in 1997 to begin my teaching career
with the Caesar Rodney School District. I began
teaching at Star Hill Elementary as both a second and
third grade teacher. While I was a teacher I was the
assistant coach for the Caesar Rodney boys and girl’s
soccer teams as well as the wrestling coach at
Postlethwait Middle School. During that time, I obtained
my master’s degree from Delaware State University in
Curriculum and Instruction and received a certificate in
Administration. From there I became the Assistant
Principal at W.B. Simpson Elementary.
The
last two school years I was the principal of Woodbridge
Elementary in the Woodbridge School District.
Outside of school I enjoy outdoor activities
such as biking, running, and spending time with my
family.
I look forward to meeting
and getting to know everyone in the Stokes community.

A
few “fun” ways for parents to encourage writing at home
|
|
-
Encourage your child to keep a daily journal to record
thoughts, feelings, and happenings. The journal
doesn’t have to be fancy. A simple notebook works as
well as a commercially produced journal.
-
-
Create a scrapbook of a vacation, a family outing, a
school trip, or a school year. Have your child write
an introduction, headings, picture captions, and
titles. (My son loves to make books using pictures
from our family trips!)
-
Encourage written personal correspondence (thank you
notes, friendly letters, invitations) as well as
business correspondence (requests, inquiries,
complaints) in both hand-written and word processed
formats.
-
Encourage your child to help write grocery lists,
to-do lists, notes, directions, material lists, and
accurate phone messages.
-
Turn your home into a print-rich environment by
allowing your child easy access to magazines, books,
maps, manuals, cookbooks, menus, television guides,
newspapers, direction and other reading materials.
-
Spend quality time together playing commercial word
games such as Scrabble, Boggle, and crossword puzzles.
- (Excerpt from Scholastic Teaching Resources)
Most importantly, let your children see you reading and
writing to promote their efforts in school.
