One of the goals of the 5th Grade year is to help students to make the big transition to the Middle School in 6th Grade. Because I have taught classes spanning 4th through 6th grade, I feel that I have the experience to see where the students have been and where they are going; I draw on this experience immensely when planning for the 5th grade year.

This year promises to be exciting. In my most recent positions, I have taught both 5th and 6th grade in Woodstock, NY, constantly ensuring that my class is student-centered, engaging and thought provoking. As I work with students through many subjects I will be focusing on showing you that everything is connected and meaningful! Prior to teaching in Woodstock, I taught 6th grade in the Arlington School District and I'm excited to be coming back to such an amazing community.
