Yay for FIFTH GRADE!  

    Who is excited to start another school year?  I am thrilled to be a part of the fifth grade team here at Shoemaker School!  This will be my twenty-fourth (WOW!) year of teaching!  Each year brings many new things, but I love that we get to embark on them together! 

    Fifth grade is going to be a year that will continue to build upon many essential skills.  These include organization, time management, problem solving, work ethic, and taking responsibility for your own learning.  Big stuff, right?! Encouraging you to utilize different strategies to help what fits your style of learning best is my job!  I am your cheerleader as you make growth in your learning! Let's get started!
