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....
Parents and students, please feel free to contact me via email or at
school whenever needed. I am always eager to assist you in any way that I
can.

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!*****
