My name is Mrs. Patricia Haer and I teach third grade for the School District of Philadelphia. I have been teaching third grade for many years now, but I used to teach 7th and 8th grade. All of the children in my class receive free breakfast and free or reduced lunches. My philosophy in teaching is to treat my students the way I want my own children treated in their classrooms. I am a very concerned teacher with not only their academics in mind, but their social and emotional well being is important to me. Switching from 7th and 8th grade students to the third grade was a tremendous change for me. I have been working hard to provide my students with everything they need to be successful in the classroom. Even little things like pencils, erasers, and paper have had to be purchased for my children. I love teaching the little ones, and want very much to help them learn everything they need to feel proud!
