WE WILL TAKE OUR SPELLING PRETEST AND TEST ON WEDNESDAY INSTEAD OF TODAY due to our afternoon docent visitors. If you would like a head start on your words, here they are. Students were asked (both verbally and written on the board) to cross out the spelling assignment in their Agendas and pick up their math homework. Some may not have comprehended this message. The end of our day was more hectic than usual because the docent projects were very involved (and running a bit behind).

Mrs. B
- 4th/5th Grade
- From the University of California, Davis, I graduated with a BA in English Literature (major) and Teacher Education (minor). While at UCD, I competed on the swim team and was a yearbook staff writer. From the University of the Pacific in Stockton, California, I earned a Master's Degree in Education, specializing in Curriculum and Instruction. While at the University of the Pacific I also wrote and received a grant for a literacy project and for a travel project. I possess a Clear Multiple Subject teaching credential with Supplementary Authorization in English from the State of California. I have passed the examination for California Teachers of English Learners (CLAD/CTEL) in all three domains. In addition, I am classified as a 'NCLB Highly Qualified Teacher'. For eleven years I have taught fourth grade (and I love it!) My education experiences also include 5th, a 4th/5th combination class, K, 1st, high school varsity/jv sports coaching and a unique & rewarding experience supervising incarcerated dual diagnosis developmentally disabled adults in math and reading activities. I am so excited to work with you this year!!
