Literacy

Welcome to 5th Grade Literacy!  My name is Mr. Gardner.  This is my 15th year teaching in Paynesville!  I grew up here and love the community.  I am married to my wife Kate, and we have six beautiful children.  We just finished up doing daycare at our house, which we've done since 2008!  Kate got a teaching job in St. Cloud teaching middle school.

This year, we have a brand new reading curriculum.  I'm excited, but also a little anxious about how the new program will lay out.  I'll be learning how it goes right along with your children.
