Third & Fourth Grades

 

“Teaching at RFS is wonderful in so many ways. I love the relationship I develop with each of my students. I love the freedom to delve into an interesting topic and explore it fully. Because there is no pressure from standardized testing, we can really focus on content. This lets students become engaged and invested in their education. I am grateful to be working in a place where students have the chance to love learning.”
