Hello! I am a 5th grade teacher at a small school on the Central Coast of California. This school has supported me in my first year of teaching and I'm excited to be transitioning from a 5/6 combo to just 5th grade! I have a wonderful class that is eager to learn. Thank you for your support as I find more and more ways to support them.
