WELCOME

Welcome back to the 2020-2021 school year. I am Miss Allen, your 5^th grade teacher. 5^th grade is one of the most exciting years for elementary students, and despite our current circumstances, 5^th grade will be fun and exciting, we just need to have an open-mind a warm spirit.

ABOUT ME

Miss Allen enjoys reading, cooking/baking, and traveling. I do not watch television often, but when I do I like to binge watch shows on Netflix and Hulu. My favorite picture book of all time is Stone Soup by Marcia Brown and my favorite novel is The Giver by Lois Lowery.
