Mini-Autobiography

Ms. Greene’s Mini Autobiography

I was born and raised in the Bay Area until 2nd grade, when my family moved to a small logging town called Burney, located Northeast of Redding.  We returned to the Bay Area in 7th grade and lived in Lafayette until my junior year, when I transferred to El Cerrito High School.

I received my teaching credential from Sonoma State University in 2002 and a Bachelor of Arts from U.C. Berkeley in 1990, where I studied Contemporary Japanese Society with an emphasis on women's issues as a Social Science Field Major.  This will be my seventh year teaching fourth grade at Sun Valley school.

Welcome to 4th Grade!

We are delighted to begin a new year at Sun Valley School, which is known for its strong community of educators, parents, administrators, and classified staff, all working together to support our diverse group of students.

4th grade is exciting and fun but also a time to develop solid study habits, organizational skills, and independent learning skills that will be necessary in the higher grades.  The workload and responsibility are greater and the curriculum more challenging than previous grades.

Writing fluently in cursive, knowing math facts backward and forward, and reading nonfiction text for information are some important aspects of 4th grade.  And of course, don’t forget about the wonderful field trips.

We anticipate a successful year for each 4th grade student!
