Welcome to 5th Grade GATE! This is my 5th year teaching this class and it is my FAVORITE! 

I teach ELA and Social Studies. In my class, students participate in hands on learning, creative problem solving, real-life writing and presenting! We are one big family in this class and we work very hard, but we learn and laugh along the way. 

I am a native Texan and live in Allen just like you. I have three children who are in AISD. This year my children will be at Allen High School, Erickson Middle School, and here at Vaughan in 6th grade GATE. I am looking forward to learning and growing with you this year!
