I am Desiree Hardy, a teacher at Riverside School (K-8). I  currently teach 5th grade Reading and Social Studies  My experiences in  teaching  ranges  from  instructing  students in mathematics  from  K-8,  Social Studies for the Junior High classes from  6-8 grades , with several years of experience in teaching Third and Fourth Grades.  I enjoy teaching very much .  My expectations for your student are that they show growth in knowledge, growth in ability, the willingness to share their  knowledge and  the maturity to use knowledge gained  in situations in and  away from the classroom to move to the next grade level.
