Greetings! I am Mrs. Demetria D. Brown-Fogle and I am honored to be a Fifth Grade teacher at Palmer Elementary School. I have been teaching for over twenty-five years, having taught all Elementary grades from Pre-K to Fifth Grade. I have always had an interest in what learning looks like at all Elementary School levels; therefore, I have chosen to teach different grades and ages over the years of my career. I have also taught all subjects and content areas to include: Reading, Writing, Math, Social Studies, Science, and Grammar/Language Arts. My teaching experience has spanned among students of different backgrounds and learning styles.  Being a military spouse has given me the opportunity to teach in different states across the U.S. Proudly, I feel as though I am a very diverse teacher and highly qualified to educate students. 

          As mentioned earlier, I am the wife of a now retired U.S. Army soldier, and the mother of three children, all students in Fort Bend ISD schools. Prior to becoming a wife and mom, I graduated from Morris College in Sumter, SC.  I was able to return to my former Elementary School and begin my teaching career acting as mentor and role model for many of my students and other members of my community. Later, I obtained a Masters' Degree in designing curriculum and assessments. I plan to pursue a Doctorate Degree in the area of Education within the next three years. I have high standards and expectations for myself and my students as well.

          In my classroom, I strive to teach the "total child", meaning that I help to create safe learning environments for my students. Our classroom family establishes expectations that foster excellence, learning, fun, and excitement.  As a Fifth Grade teacher, I will be a part of the bridge of passage for your student (s), moving out of the Elementary grades and into Middle School. I am committed to working with our Fifth Graders and families to help each student have a successful school year. My goal is for each student to leave Palmer prepared for the next huge step.....Middle School! I believe in strong teacher-family relationships, so there will be opportunities for us to work together throughout the school year. I am looking forward to having the best school year with all of our Fifth Grade families!
