A child who reads will become an adult who thinks.
I am thrilled that you will be in my class this year! We are going to learning so many new and exciting things together. This is my 3rd year of teaching 4th grade at Royal Elementary, so I think you can infer that I love Fourth Graders! I think it is the best grade ever! In reading, we get to learn about fiction and nonfiction, text features, poetry, myths, legends, and lots more. In writing, we get to learn about different types of sentences, subject/verb agreements, FANBOYS, how to write essays, and lots more. In social studies, it's all about Texas history.
I am very passionate about teaching reading, writing, and social studies, though Reading is my "FAV". I enjoy using hands-on learning activities as much as I can. I really enjoy playing Scoot! I also think it is very important to work together as a classroom family. We will be spending a lot of time together so it is important to treat each other with respect, kindness, and compassion. I know that each of you have a different brain, which means you think and learn differently. It is my job as your teacher to help you grow as a learner and as a person of good character.

"It makes me smile to see children leaning over a table, dig into a book, solve problems, and construct meaning. Why? Because these precious children are experiencing a wonderful feeling of accomplishment. They know they are becoming better readers, and they are excited about it." ---Jan Richardson
