Mrs. Strickland is team teaching with Mrs. Veleke and Mrs. Cope for the 2008-09 school year. Mrs. Strickland is teaching Reading, Language Arts, and Social Studies curriculum to her homeroom. All fifth grade students will rotate first semester through Mrs. Strickland's class for instruction in Descriptive Writing and the Variables FOSS kit for Science. The three fifth grade teachers are all teach math to flexible groups.
Mrs. Strickland has a "Florescent Free" classroom. Overhead florescent lighting does not seem to encourage calm, classroom learning. So we have LOTS of lamps throughout the room and that is all we EVER turn on. We love having the natural sunlight coming in from our window and the lamps make a warm glow all throughout the room! Please check out our scrapbook using the Photos link above.
