Hello! I'm Miss Richter and I will be your 5th grade teacher this year! I can't wait to meet you all Wednesday, the 9th at 8:30 am. Keep reading to learn about me.

 I love running! Well, to be honest, I love traveling to run races! My best friend and I like to run 10ks and half marathons. We have also run a few marathons (26.2 miles!). Our favorite places to run are at Disneyland and Walt Disney World. We have run the New York City Marathon and the Marine Corps Marathon in Washington, DC. We love earning and displaying the medals we get when we cross the finish line. I will share pictures of them with you when we start school.  

 I can't wait to share my favorite book series with you! Some of you may have seen my classroom last year and already have an idea what it is. I look forward to reading the first book with you and using it to learn grammar and to study narrative writing.

I also love traveling to National Parks in my camper van with my best friend and her dog. This summer we went to the Grand Canyon, walked around the Petrified Forest, slid down the hills at White Sands, explored the Carlsbad Caverns, hiked around Guadalupe Mountains, and made it all the way to Big Bend in Texas! It was quite a summer of camping trips! 

 I can't wait to meet all of you and hear about how your summer break was! The list of school supplies can be found on Monte Vista's home page. Thank you!
