As a team of five experienced teachers, we have a combined eighty-one years of teaching experience. We believe in mixing the old tried and true teaching methods along with the new and innovative approaches to enhance student achievement. It is our hope that our students are stimulated by their experiences in our classrooms and that we can become facilitators of student-centered activities and learning experiences.

Our goal for fourth grade students is for them to become independent learners and problem solvers who will be ready for the twenty-first century. Cooperative group work and divergent thinking skills are strongly encouraged. We also place a strong emphasis on helping our students become more proficient in their written and oral language skills.
