Howdy!  I am the fifth grade ELA teacher at Prunedale Elementary School.  This is my nineth-year teaching ELA with my awesome fifth grade team.  I have also taught kindergarten and second grade at Prunedale as well as having been a student here myself.  Watching the kids have ah ha! moments is the highlight of my day (especially when they find out who Herman E. Calloway is to Bud in Bud, Not Buddy).  Distance learning has provided a unique opportunity to incorporate all things technology into my teaching which has been a fun challenge.
