  1. Welcome! 5th Grade Mrs. Bonnie Vincent Room 4

  2. My Background • This is my 25th year teaching. • Year 21 at Ocean View. • I’ve taught almost every grade level, & I am especially happy to be back in 5th grade. It is such a fabulous time in your child’s education. • Clear Multiple Subject Credential, M.A. in Educational Leadership, Administration. • As a teacher, I am firm but fair. I truly care for the kids and they know it, even when I discipline. I work on the whole child, not just the academics. I stress good character. I like to laugh and be silly at times, and at other times I run a very tight ship. I want learning to be fun and engaging, but also there are serious times for focus and practice. Not always fun, but necessary for mental strength. Students need to be able to do both. • More personally, I’m a wife and mother of 3, and a grandmother of 2, with #3 on the way, due Christmas Eve. • We are active in our church, WACC right up the hill, and I love reading, writing, cooking & decorating. We have a funny dog and cat. You will hear stories.
