Welcome to the 2019 – 2020 school year! My name is Claudia Daniels and I will be your child’s 5th grade teacher. As you may have heard, I love to read and I love to create! I believe I have a responsibility to enrich the lives of learners through meaningful experiences together. To ensure students are ignited, engaged and growing, your child will experience a wide-range of literature, learning opportunities, instructional strategies, and meaningful technology. I also believe in nurturing an atmosphere where community is the life-line that intertwines everything. Each day, students will participate in experiences to cultivate critical thinking in the areas of mathematics, science, reading, writing, speaking and listening while gaining a sense of ownership of their learning. I am elated to be a part of your child’s elementary experience. I am looking forward to an amazing school year!
