The mission of the 5-6 team is to challenge all of our learners to grow both academically and socially through a cooperative environment.
Intermediate Program
At Achieve Language Academy, each homeroom in the intermediate program has a mix of 5th and 6th grade students to form a learning-filled community.
The students participate in two academic blocks daily – a Language Arts and Social Studies block and a Math and Science block. These classes begin to develop the necessary academic skills that prepare our students for middle school and high school.

Goals
The three major student goals of our team are the following:
Use differentiation to meet the needs of each learner
Continue to teach literacy skills through all subject areas
Emphasize higher level thinking and problem solving skills

I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.
This will be my 19th year here at Achieve Language Academy! I enjoy the learning and fun we have in class and am thankful to be part of my students' education.
I have an amazing husband (Louie) and two wonderful children (Louie Jr. 5th grade and Cassie 9th grade). When I am not teaching, I enjoy being with my family just hanging out, camping, and sometimes golfing.
One thing most students learn about me right away is I love the Peanuts character Snoopy. You may find some around my classroom:-)
This is my second year at Achieve, and I am thrilled to be here! I grew up in the Twin Cities and my favorite season is fall. I studied Elementary Education and Early Childhood Education at Concordia University, St. Paul. My favorite food is watermelon and my favorite animal is an elephant. In my free time, I am usually reading or baking.
