    Yes, you can use similar materials, but I want the end product to be uniquely yours. Use your imagination to envision the possibilities!

    I was just looking at the handy links and saw link named Khan Academy! I remember last year in 4th grade we did it every day! It's the best website to learn anything educational!

    Ms. Reese? Is there a site where I can view pages 78 and 79 of our "Social Studies Alive! America's Past" book? I need to finish the page on Plymouth.

    Unfortunately, they are not online. That is why I told everyone they would need to take a book home. I hope you can call a friend!

    Hello Miss. Reese, this is Rachel. I was wondering if my father could pick up my homework for me so I don't have a ton of homework on the weekend. Have a nice day!

    Hi Rachel! I'm so sorry that I am now just seeing this post. You are welcome to pick your work up any time when school is open. Just have your parents call and I will have it ready at the office next time. I hope you are feeling much better very soon! :)

Welcome to the 2013-2014 school year! I am so happy and grateful to be a part of the Buffalo Trail community and especially the wonderful 5th grade team. This is my 2nd year at BTE and my 12th year of teaching. I have taught 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades in Kentucky and Colorado. Before moving to Denver three years ago, I lived in Northern Kentucky near Cincinnati, Ohio. I earned a BS from the University of Kentucky and my MAT from the University of Louisville. In 2007, I became a National Board Certified Teacher with an emphasis in Early/Middle Childhood Reading and Language Arts. In my free time, I love to read, ride my bike, try new restaurants, and go to concerts/sports events. I love cheering my teams on during basketball season, hiking, and skiing. I am loving Colorful Colorado and look forward to our new adventures together!
