Welcome to 5th Grade!
I am so excited to meet you and have you in my class this year. It is my first year at C2E, and my fourth year teaching 5th grade.
I went to Biola University in Southern California, near where I grew up. In May of 2024 I got my alternative teaching license and Masters in Education from MSU Denver. I love to ignite a love of learning in students through fun, creative thinking, high expectations, and a massive belief in their potential. Students should have the safety to make mistakes so they can learn and grow, and my hope is that my classroom is a place where students feel safe enough to fail, can be themselves, know they are loved, and as a result, can soar to mammoth heights.
Fifth grade was one of my favorite years in school, and getting to teach it now brings me so much joy. I love the relationship building and getting to see students blossom in their abilities, humor, and friendships as we prepare them for the launch into middle school.
I so look forward to learning about the 25-26 5th grade class through this year's learning adventures!
