Mrs. Skibicki's Web Page
Hello all! My name is Sara Skibicki and I've been teaching 5th grade at Almond for almost a decade. I think this is such a fun age for kids. I truly enjoy teaching upper elementary students. I teach all the subjects, but math and science are my favorite. I believe that my job is to challenge students to help them grow, and I want them to learn skills to help them succeed inside and outside of the classroom.
I'm looking froward to another fun school year!
