A new year begins

Aloha! It's always exciting to begin a new school year. Having taught 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades for nearly a decade, as well as dabbling for a few years in an administrative role, I never tire of the excitement I see in kids as they return for another school year. It's a good thing, too! With procedures and rules and broken air conditioners and on and on, school can be a drag sometimes. It is my students that keep me going; that and my little family of seven children and a beautiful wife to support and love.

This blog will serve as a contact point for my students and their parents to catch up on the events and activities, as well as the curriculum, assignments and projects which will take place this year with Crippen's Crew.  Welcome aboard!
