Welcome to the 2023 - 2024 school year! I am looking forward to having your child as a student. Fifth grade is such a fun year, students are preparing for their next chapter in life. In order to have a productive year, my most important goal is to create a family of learners in my classroom. I am committed to creating a classroom environment where your child is a valued, trusted, and integral part of our family of learners. This will be my sixth year teaching and my sixth year at Candlewood. I'm so excited about this upcoming year!
