     Welcome to 4th grade gifted! There are many things I 
would like you to know about me. First, I have been a teacher for 14+ years now. I am a Florida 
International University graduate. I am also a National Board Certified Teacher...a very difficult 
prestigious accomplishment for teachers.
     I have taught third, fourth and fifth grades. Throughout these years I 
have taught regular, gifted, ESOL, high achievers, Reading and Language Arts 
Departmentalization, and ESE inclusion classes. I have two beautiful children, Amanda and Brandon, 
they are my happiness :-).I love all types of pets. I have two cats, their names are Max and Simba. 
     I love helping my students become the very best learners that they can 
be. This year will be a very interesting and challenging school year 
for all students. Our classroom will be one where the student excels
academically as the year progresses. I expect all class and homework assignments turned in on a 
regular basis and outstanding class behavior. I plan to make learning fun and exciting. My goal is to 
motivate my students so that together they can be the best fourth graders in 
the whole school! We are off to a GREAT START!!!! LET THE LEARNING BEGIN....

Mission For The Class

     My mission for this class is to develop my student's reading, writing, 
and math skills to his/her fullest potential while creating a positive safe 
learning environment where the student will flourish not only academically 
but socially as well. In our class all learning styles will be addressed and 
students will participate in project based learning activities. Technology 
will be infused in the curriculum as much as possible through research based 
learning. Students will learn to work in cooperative groups in order to 
foster teamwork. Higher order thinking skills will be inccorporated in all 
subjects, concepts, and skills taught. It is extremely important to have 
open lines of communication with parents so that we can work together as a 
team in the intellectual growth and development of our children, and to 
promote the fundamentals of responsibility and accountability students 
should have in order to succeed. Finally, I plan to individualize learning 
by providing various assignments and activities based on each student's 
particular academic needs and interests.

*****I plan to establish an overall love for school and learning! You will 
love coming to our class!*****
