FIFTH GRADE TEACHER

I am currently the 5th grade teacher at TLS and am also excited to have the opportunity to lead the STEM program for grades 5-8. Not only have I been a teacher at Trinity for over 8 years, but my husband Brad and I also have 3 daughters that attend school here as well. 

We have 18 fabulous fifth graders this year.  We are getting to know each other as well as the expectations in 5th grade.  The best part of 5th grade is watching the students become independent learners and life-long thinkers while growing in their faith.

In previous years we have walked to Dorsch Library downtown each month, as well as visited our local museum to support our Native American studies.

As part of our biography unit, the students choose, read about, research, and then present their information in a wax museum format.  The students dress the part and recite information learned about their famous person.  This event is also held at our local museum.
