My name is Mrs. Julia Blair and this is my 7th year teaching at Coles Elementary in the Deaf/Hard of Hearing Class and my 14th year as an educator. I have worked as an itinerant teacher for the Deaf/Hard of Hearing in Charles County, MD, as well as a 3rd grade teacher in Charles County, MD, and Fairfax County, VA.
I have a Bachelor of Science in Deaf Education and Elementary Education from Eastern Kentucky University and a Masters of Education in Curriculum and Instruction: Reading from Grand Canyon University. When I'm not here at school teaching your child, I am usually at home with my husband, who is in the United States Marine Corps, and our daughter. I love to lift heavy weights and compete in various athletic competitions.
This year we have split the Deaf/Hard of Hearing students into two different classrooms, Kindergarten - 2nd grade and 3rd-5th grades. I will be teaching the 3rd - 5th graders. This year our theme is all about goals and using the World Cup from this past summer as our backdrop. I am excited to work with them and see each student reach their personal and school goals this year! We will be using Class Dojo which will allow you to see real time updates of what your student is doing in class. Please sign up for this if you have not done so already.
Please feel free to email me with any questions, concerns or comments. Let's make it an amazing year of learning and growth!
