What To Expect in Room 4:


 
We are family first and foremost.  We build a very strong classroom community from the second we begin our year together.  Throughout the year we analyze new ideas and concepts. Then we try to apply them to everyday life experiences.  We work on test taking strategies throughout the year so the LEAP test is not the "Big Bad Wolf".  Lastly, we all (students and teachers) walk away everyday learning something new.
