5th Grade Teacher

Hello!

This is my 3rd year in 5th grade at Coats Elementary! I have been in education for 10 years, teaching for 6 of them. I am a Harnett County native, but I love to travel. When I'm not working, I enjoy relaxing at home with my family.

As we grow as unique persons, we learn to respect the uniqueness of others. – Robert Schuller

Respect yourself, Respect others 

In addition to our classroom rules, students are expected to adhere to school wide rules and regulations that are listed in the Student Handbook.

 Grading Policies:

100-90 = A (I understand!)

89 - 80 = B (I mostly understand!)

79-70 = C  (I understand some of the material but I need to ask questions)

69 - 60 = D (I do not understand and need to ask for help!, Parent-Teacher Conference is Suggested)

59 & Below = Failing (Parent-Teacher Conference is a MUST)

Classwork/Homework

Students will be working in notebooks this year. They will be responsible for the content and organization of their notebook.

Classwork assignments are to be completed during the school day.
