Welcome to the 5th & 6th Grade classroom! This year begins my 15th year here at Oak Arbor. Some of my favorite things to do with my students are: help them learn to see the powerful place that God has in their lives, read great literature with and to them, teach them to see the wonder of God's creation in the world around them, and help them see how He has led humans through the course of history to where we are now.
