About The Teacher

     Mr. Parker loves to learn and to share that love with students.  
Specifically, he loves solving math problems and working "hands-on" in 
science.  He is very proud of his students as every year they act kindly 
towards each other and strive to be the best students they can be.
     Mr. Parker loves nature and you can find him year round at sunny 
Camp Fitch enjoying the outdoors.  Luckily, all of fifth grade joins him 
there every February for an exciting three days of learning.  During the 
summer, he serves there as a camp chaplain and waterfront director.
     Mr. Parker loves to hear about all of the great things his former 
students accomplish and enjoys their visits during the year.  Every one 
of his students is special and has unique talents.  There is no greater 
joy than watching students discover a special talent and gain 
confidence as learners.  All children are smart and have great 
contributions to make to class.

Mission For The Class

Everyone needs time to think and learn.

It's OK to make mistakes.  That's the way we learn.

We each learn in our own ways, by our own time clocks.

It's intelligent to ask for help.  No one need do it all alone.

We can do more and learn more when we're willing to risk.
