Hello and welcome! My name is Mrs. Balestrieri (Mrs. B), and I’m so excited to have you in my class this year. I have been teaching for 19 years, and I can truly say that 5th grade is one of my favorite places to be. It’s such an exciting year full of curiosity, growth, and new challenges.
In our classroom, we’ll explore reading, writing, and history in fun and meaningful ways. I love bringing stories to life, connecting learning to the world around us, and helping each student discover their strengths. Outside of school, I enjoy hiking, biking, and kayaking with my husband. You’ll also hear a lot about our dog, Chunk, who often makes “guest appearances” in classroom stories.
Parents and families, I believe we’re a team in your child’s education. I look forward to working together to make this a year of learning, creativity, and success for every student!
Students, I can’t wait to learn about your interests, too—we’re going to have a great year together!
