I teach 5th grade in Northern California. This is my second year teaching! My classroom is made up of 27 wonderful students. My class is a combination of Caucasian, Hispanic, Hmong and multi-racial students. In addition, I have 5 students with special needs. All of our students qualify for free or reduced lunch.
Despite the challenges that many of my students face they manage to preserver and continue to work hard each day.
I learn from them everyday and strive to give them the best 5th grade experience! My students deserve the best education.
