I absolutely love being a math teacher here at RIS. I graduated from Arkansas Tech University with my Bachelors in Middle Level Education in 2021. I am a United States Navy veteran, with four years active duty. In my free time I love spending time with my family, crafting, and playing video games. I look forward to many more years at RIS and meeting some wonderful children.
WELCOME TO MATH
Fifth grade mathematics is about:
developing fluency with addition and subtraction of fractions, and developing understanding of the multiplication of fractions and of division of fractions in limited cases
extending division to two-digit divisors, integrating decimal fractions into the place value system and developing understanding of operations with decimals to hundredths, and developing fluency with whole number and decimal operations
developing understanding of volume

Hi, I think teaching fifth-graders is the greatest job in the world! I graduated from Arkansas Tech and have been teaching in Russellville since 1987.
My husband and I love to do jigsaw puzzles, travel and do projects around the house.

Hi, I am excited to teach your children math this year! I graduated from the University of Arkansas. GO HOGS! I have been teaching in the Russellville School District since 1989. Before teaching in Russellville, I taught third grade in Bentonville, AR. I love to read, watch football (I am from Louisiana so my family are Saints fans), and be outdoors hiking or bike riding.
