I teach all subjects (language arts, math, science, social studies, art, and health) to 22 5th grade students. I teach in a diverse, public, neighborhood elementary school that serves a high-need community of kindergarten to fifth graders. Of our approximately 400 students, 14% are Limited English Proficient and 68% qualify for free and reduced lunch. Our school also has a high percentage of children with autism.
Our school is part of the Oregon Green Schools movement. We are committed to recycle, reduce our waste, save energy, and conserve water. 4th and 5th grade students are active stewards of our school's vegetable and native plants garden. Students also run a compost station in the school cafeteria and are active in a Green Club that works to conduct waste audits and educate the student body about green issues.
