Welcome! My name is Samantha Hakes and I have been teaching for seven years; I have a bachelor's degree in Elementary and Special Education and a master's degree in Reading Education. I have focused my career on working at Title 1 schools, to provide the best possible education to ALL students. Currently, I teach 5th Grade English Language Arts to approximately 60 fifth graders in Denver, Colorado. A majority of my scholars are linguistically diverse and receive English Language Development and other language supports. In addition, most of the students qualify and receive free and reduced breakfast and lunch. My scholars are amazing and unique learners, who deserve the best curriculum and resources to support their diverse needs.
