Hello! My name is Ms. Bethea. I am your 5th grade ELA and Social Studies teacher for the 2023-2024 School Year. This is my 7th year teaching. I am from the Tarheel State of North Carolina and I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.  I have a daughter named Eden, and a dog named omega. During my free time I love to read and listen to music.  In this class you all are going to learn to expand your literacy skills by developing your ability think critically and also develop your knowledge of United States.
