Welcome!

I am thrilled to be teaching the highly-capable program for fifth grade ELA and SS!  This is my ninth year teaching, and I have previously taught grades 5-12. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Secondary Education with a major in English and earned my Master's Degree in Instructional Technology. My goal as a teacher is to make learning engaging, memorable, and valuable.

For ELA, we are using our brand new curriculum, Wit and Wisdom! Students will engage with rigorous texts to achieve the standards and have fun alog the way! 

For social studies, we will be starting off the year with Geography. Following, we will explore the history of the United States and cover vital events, such as the signing of The Declaration of Independence. Students will also learn map skills, vocabulary, and how specific events have shaped us today.
