Hi! My name is Karen Brannelly, and I will be your 5th grade Language Arts teacher. I am excited to get to know you this year and look forward to all the learning we will accomplish. We will do some reading, writing and talking as we get to know some great literature and each other. This year I hope to challenge and excite you. I firmly believe there is nothing we can't do without the support of one another, a good book, some Post It Notes and a purple Sharpie Marker!
