    Welcome!

    Welcome to 5th Grade! My name is Gerard Langton and I have been a teacher for 21 years. I have taught different grade levels and enjoyed every level and class. As a teacher, I aspire to inspire my students to become better students, better thinkers, and ultimately to provide my students with the skills they will need as they continue to grow and learn.

    "The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery." -Mark Van Doren
