Welcome Back!

About Me:
This is my second year teaching 5th Grade Reading at Burnside and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else! I am very excited to begin the school year and am very blessed to work with great colleagues and students.

About My Class:
I teach Reading to all fifth grade students. Each week, we read a different story and focus on different strategies and skills to make us deeper readers. I also teach Science to my homeroom class three days a week.


I chose this career because I love watching students learn. Each day, I see their understanding deepen, and its a wonder to observe. I am very thankful to be a such a wonderful school with students who give nothing short of their best.
