Dear Parents and Students,

CCUSD schools remain closed. There are supplemental education resources for all students, however, teachers are not in the schools and will not be available through March 27th. We are working with the Arizona Department of Education to understand more about school closures and our next steps. In the meantime, you may want to visit the two web pages linked below, one for COVID 19 updates, and one for at-home supplemental education resources. We will continue to provide updates as often as possible. We appreciate your patience during this unprecedented time.

Welcome to 5th Grade English/Language Arts. In 5th grade, we read a variety of fiction and non-fiction stories about many interesting topics.  In addition, we write short stories, essays, reading responses, poetry and so much more.  I am extremely passionate about reading and writing and can't wait to share my excitement with you this year!

 Why I teach...
Seeing the incredible growth of my students, both personally and academically, inspires me each day. By promoting persistence, kindness, and accomplishment I hope to instill confidence and compassion in my students.
