Welcome to the 2023-2024 school year and 5th/6th Grade Math and 6th Grade Social Studies in Room A217, Smith College! I am the 5th and 6th Grade Math Teacher and 6th Grade Social Studies teacher, Mr. Casselberry. I am very excited about the new school year with our upper elementary and middle school students! This is my 9th year teaching at WGLA and my 30th overall. I am confident we are going to accomplish and grow a great deal throughout this school year, both academically and personally. Class Dojo Messenger is the best way to contact all 5th/6th-grade teachers. Class Dojo Story is the best way to keep up with 5th/6th-grade team updates, important dates, activities we are doing in class, and school-wide events. I look forward to connecting with everyone on Class Dojo!
