My Project

5th grade is all about figuring out who you are and growing into that person gracefully. Our goal for this year is to understand where we are starting so we have a clear vision of where we are going.

This new class of LEGENDS is ready to OVERCOME and CONQUER 5th Grade Math!

Scholars will be introduced to RIGOROUS and INTENTIONAL math instruction that centers what they already know and will highlight the path to math proficiency! My students are ADVANCERS.

They will get to know their academic STRENGTHS and WEAKNESSES to find their own path to the same high EXPECTATION of MAXIMUM ACHIEVEMENT!
