Welcome to the 4th/5th multi-age classroom.  Students stay with me for two years.  One year the students work on fourth grade content and the other year they work on fifth grade content.                                                       

 The 2008-2009 school year will be a great one.  We will be working on fourth grade content which includes U.S. regions, Colorado Studies, rocks and minerals, and space exploration.  We will also explore special units using William and Mary materials.
