I recently relocated to San Diego, CA and wasn't sure what my next school or classroom would be like. I am really lucky to say that I am continuing my career as a 4th grade teacher and it has been pretty awesome so far! The students in my classroom are outspoken and intelligent problem-solvers who work hard to do a great job everyday. My fourth graders are constantly asking questions to further their understanding about what we are learning and challenge themselves to grow every day. I enjoy seeing my students progress day to day and am excited to see them continue in their future!
