"Reading is to the mind as exercise is to the body"

Joseph Addison

Welcome to 5th grade! I am so happy your child was chosen to be in my class! We willbe doing many exciting and challenging activities throughout the school year. Each  day at school is filled with different situations. Remember to encourage your child to make appropriate choices while in school. It is going to be a great year. I am very excited to be working with all my students throughout the year.  

I am available to your child throughout the school day. If your child has a question or concern please encourage them to talk to me. If you as a parent have a question please e-mail me through the link at the bottom of this page or you can contact the school, leave a message and I will return your call at my earliest convenience. I look forward to working with all the students and  parents in my 5th grade class throughout the 2011-2012 school year.
