Let me just start out by saying that 5th grade is my FAVORITE!
We are going to have so much fun this year! I started my teaching career 28 years ago teaching Kindergarten in the morning and Talented and Gifted 5th and 6th graders in the afternoon. Soon afterwards, I became a Talented and Gifted Coordinator at Mid-Ohio Educational Service Center. I loved it, but after several years I really missed being with my students, so I returned to the classroom.
I'm so glad to be back with my elementary friends!
