sixth Grade
Fifth grade
This week the sixth graders read "Role-Playing and The Adventures of Nat Love." These selections compared narrative nonfiction and autobiographies plus the tone of each selection. In English, we expanded our study of pronouns with four charts of pronouns. We were able to use the Herald Democrat with our pronoun lessons. For spelling the focus was on compound words. They learned that compound words can take three forms: with a hyphen such as twenty-three, together such as greenhouse, and separated such as fairy tales.
This week the fifth graders read "We Were There Too!" This selection focused on the role that children played in the Revolutionary War. The skill this week was comparison/contrast and using Venn Diagrams as graphic organizers. For STARR preparation, the students examined suffixes and figurative language.
So, when you tell them to put a little elbow grease into cleaning their rooms, they should know what you mean.
About Me 
About Me
My philosophy of teaching is that all students can learn. My goal is to create a safe learning environment in which students feel free to take risks and overcome perceived limitations. I strive to teach not only academic material but also life skills that will help students live productive, successful lives.
I graduated from Southeastern Oklahoma State University in December of 1993 and have over sixteen years of teaching experience.
My family includes husband, Jeff, and three children, Nick, Whitney, and Nolan.
