Introduction

Dear Fifth Grade Parents,

Hello!  My name is Laura Strasbaugh.  I will be teaching your child this year.  I am really looking forward to diving into the curriculum with the students.  I have taught fifth grade before and really enjoy teaching this age group.  

I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Biology from the University of Colorado.  After college, I worked as an educational assistant.  Finding out that I enjoyed teaching students, I went back to a post-graduate program at the University of California at Santa Barbara to obtain my teaching license.  I have endorsements in math, science, and elementary education.  I have taught at both the middle school and elementary school levels.  

I have three children of my own.  I love to spend time with them.  In addition, I like to read, hike in the mountains, travel, and play board games.  I love animals and have two high energy Border Collies who love to perform tricks. 

I am looking forward to getting to know your child this year.  I love the fact that the philosophy of Belle Creek Charter School is First, Comes Learning!   This will be the priority in our classroom.

Sincerely,

Laura Strasbaugh
