One of the greatest things about being a teacher is the continual life long love of learning. I love learning alongside the students. The students have just as much to share with me as I do with them.
Fifth grade will be full of many new and exciting learning opportunities. I look forward to facilitating a classroom where we collaborate and communicate with each other for optimal learning. Students will be critically thinking and have many opportunities to be creative thinkers.
In math this year we will further skills in multiplication, division, fractions, decimals, and geometry. During literacy, we will find the love of reading though a variety of different novels, multiple genres, we will learn how to incorporate research skills, and write multi-paragraph compositions. In science, we will explore states of matter, Earth’s surfaces, the gravitational pull, and energy resources. In social studies we will go back in time to 1490 through the development of the United States. Additionally, with our civics unit we will learn what it is to be a citizen and how to play a role in our community through Young Ameritowne.
