This is my fourth year teaching here at Burnside and I am very excited to be teaching social studies to the fifth grade. We are continually learning and exploring with new materials. History Alive has brought new and exciting ideas to social studies and beginning this year we are going to be using Geography Alive. I enjoy working with children to help them reach their highest potential in all areas of life.
I consider it a priviledge to teach your child in my classroom. If there are ever concerns, please let me know.
