ABOUT ME
My name is Amanda Pruneau and I teach our third, fourth, fifth, and sixth grade gifted students. As their teacher, I strive to provide a program of enrichment that fosters inquiry, creativity, critical thinking, leadership, and academic challenge. I aim to create a collaborative classroom community in which every student has a voice and feels valued. I hope to inspire students to be proactive, life-long learners who readily accept new challenges and strive to use their knowledge and skills to improve the world around them.
