Welcome 4th Graders! Go 2016-17!!


I am so excited to start school again.  This year, I have some familiar faces and some unfamiliar faces.  I taught about half the class in 2nd and I wonder how much they've grown.  I saw lots of physical changes last school year (...so much taller) and I heard about so much progress from Ms. Bixman.  I can't wait to see everyone again.

This had been a spectacular summer where the classes I took (yes, teachers go to school too) generated some unusual ideas.  I'm eager to explore an international book club, debating about issues in our elections, learning about Tokaida Road in 18th Century Japan, and being a pioneer on the Oregon Trail.
