Welcome to my 5th grade class!

Hello and welcome to my page!

  This is my 32nd year teaching in Columbia County and I love what I do! I have taught every grade from K-5 except 4th grade. (Maybe I will get there before I retire) If you look carefully at my banner, you can tell I love Clemson, Star Wars, Doctor Who, and my fur babies. I am married with 3 amazing adult children and two super sweet grandsons. (I'm going to have to sneak pictures of them in somewhere on this page. Hopefully, they won't find out!) 

I am thrilled to be teaching 5th-grade Science and Math again this year. Mrs. Long and I love working together and will do everything possible to make this a successful year for everyone.

  Hands-on, interactive experiments and activities are my absolute favorite!  I love discovering how things work and why things do what they do. I just completed my Computer Science endorsement and will integrate it throughout the year. My hope is that by the end of this year, you will have a true love for math, science, and computer technology too.

Please check the Science and Math pages for information on the standards and units we are working on.

The Schedule and Calendar tabs will be updated as more dates and information becomes available. 

We have a lot to explore and I am looking forward to an amazing year!
