    Hello Bolin Blazers,
     
    Welcome to the 2022-2023 school year! I am a fifth grade reading, language arts, and social studies teacher. I graduated from Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas. I have been teaching fifth grade for the past twenty-eight years. I have been at Bolin Elementary since the fall of 2000.
     
    My fifth grade teammates are: Marc Alvarez (Math and Science), Shawn Heisler (Reading, Language Arts, and Social Studies), and Ricardo Hope (Math and Science).

    If you need to contact me, my email address is: Rebecca.Goldberg@Allenisd.org or you may leave a voicemail at 214-495-6750 ext. 110306.

    My conference period is Monday-Friday 1:20-2:05 (Room 131).
