4th Grade Team

🐾 Hey Wildcats! 🐾 

I am so excited for this year!  This is my 17th year teaching and I'm coming back to 4th grade! We are going to have a blast learning Math and Science in my class!

I love to learn myself.  I have my Master's Degree, ESE K-12 Certification, Reading Endorsement, ESOL Endorsement, CIVICS Seal of Excellence Endorsement, and I plan to continue adding to my certification. I will continue to pursue more areas where I can grow as much as I can as a teacher, which is also what I try to instill in my students.  I have four kids who keep me very busy: Alicia Faith, Brianna Hope, Ciara Love, and Grayson Zane!

My favorite educational quote is by George Evans: "All students can learn, just not in the same day or in the same way."  I teach students the way they learn best and in ways that keep them motivated and wanting to come back for more (even years later!)

Looking forward to a great 2024-2025 school year!!

Ms. Harbison 🍎
