Saint Catherine Of Siena School

Grade 5

Hello 5th Graders!   I’m Mr.Yerina and I'm fired up to be your teacher this year. We are going to have a lot of fun in 5th grade. This school year will be busy with many exciting lessons and activities that will help us learn and grow together. I especially take great pride in teaching our catholic values, living the message of the Gospel and, as always, treating others as Christ would.
