A little bit about me....
I have been teaching at St. Augustine since 2004. This is my third year in 5th grade. I obtained my BS in Technology and Applied Sciences from Northern Michigan University. After doing design work for General Motors, I realized I didn't want to sit behind a computer all day. I decided to go back to school and get my Masters in Education from Saginaw Valley State University.
I am an avid reader (love a good mystery), jigsaw puzzle person, and enjoy cooking, traveling, and bike rides. Baxter, who is pictured above, is my fur baby.

TESTS
Math -
Reading - Thomas Saves the Day quiz - October 9th
Vocabulary -
English - Unit 1 Test October 8th
NOTES
Starting Monday, September 14th, students will be marked down for improper heading. I have been stating how the heading should appear. It is also on the board in class (and has been up since the second day of school).
Now that we are in October, students will receive no credit for answers not in complete sentences (unless stated otherwise.) Not using complete sentences also prevents a student from making corrections as it shows lack of effort and not following directions.
Today I can:
English: identify compound and simple sentences
Math: solve for missing numbers, interpret story problems
Reading: read for fluency and comprehension, analyze types of characters in a story.
