Hello! My name is Virginia Slechta. I go by "Ginny." I am a first grade teacher at Crozet Elem. School. I've been teaching since 1987 and most of that time has been here at Crozet. I am a graduate of Seton Hall University in New Jersey. I've taught Kindergarten, 1st grade and 2nd grade, spending most of my time in first grade. First grade is where my heart is! So much happens in first grade; children become readers and writers, lots of teeth are lost, but independence is gained! In first grade life-long friendships are made and your child's social network increases! When I am not at school I like to read and take long walks with my family. I have a daughter that is married and lives in Suffolk and a son graduating from Western Albemarle and heading to Old Dominion next fall. I enjoy shopping and going to the movie theater! I have 2 cats and would have more if I could!
I believe it is very important for teachers and parents to keep open communitcation. I respond to email more than once a day. Email would be the best way to contact me, using the link to the right. [email protected]
