Team Approach to Teaching with Mrs. Ryan, Mr. Donnellon, and Mrs. Kapera
Students in fourth and fifth grade will be switching everyday for science, social studies, and math. Each class period will be approximately 45-60 minutes long.  Our goals are:

• To provide each child with a more in-depth study of the given content area.
  
• To use instructional techniques aimed to ensure academic success for all learners.
  
• To offer cooperative learning opportunities in the classroom.
