Welcome to fifth grade! Fifth grade is really interesting and fun! Starting the year with distance learning will be new for all of us. I am going to try to get to know you as best as I can from a distance, with the hope that eventually, we can return to school. However we are learning, whether it is distantly or in the class, we will be learning how to organize our writing, be strategic readers, spell correctly, and how to use new vocabulary words in ELA. In history we will be learning about the United States and our amazing Constitution. In math we will be learning how to multiply and divide whole numbers, decimals, and fractions, just to name a few skills. We will learn about life, physical, earth and space science and much more in science class. I am looking forward to getting to know you and learning together! It will be an awesome year!

I knew I wanted to be a teacher starting in second grade. I have now taught for 20 years and I absolutely love it! I believe that education is power and it is so rewarding to empower children through educating them.
On a personal note, I have three boys and a wonderful husband. We live in the country and have rabbits, goats, chickens, cats, and a dog. I love to garden, read, and travel. I have been to Costa Rica, Belize, Nicaragua, Mexico, Hawaii, and Canada.
