Welcome to fifth grade:

     I am happy to have you in fifth grade.  As your teacher, my goal is to make sure you get the best possible

education, therefore, I try to create a positive learning environment within my classroom.  I make an effort to

enforce the classroom rules.  I try to make learning fun for everyone while carefully monitoring growth/progress in

all subject areas. My job is to prepare you for 6th grade and to teach the skills that you can use not only in 6th

grade but for a lifetime.  I will get to know you for the individual that you are--knowing your strengths and

weaknesses--your likes and dislikes--your motivations and learning styles so that I can better serve your needs

and make your 5th grade experience a positive one.
