Hi! My name is Mandee Walck. I am so excited to be a part of the GPA 5th Grade Team. More importantly I am thrilled that I am your child's teacher! I was born and raised in Garden City, Kansas and this is my fourth year in Colorado Springs. I am the oldest of thirteen children. I have been working as a teacher for sixteen years. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education and a Master's Degree in Reading. I have taught 5th Grade, 4th Grade, 3rd Grade and 1st Grade. I am very delighted to be in 5th Grade again!

I am looking forward to teaching your children this year as I have heard so many great things about this class. It is my goal that they are equipped with the skills and tools necessary for achieving academic and social success this year. This will be a great year!
