Diving into Nonfiction Reading and Writing The second quarter is an awesome time in reading for the 5th graders! We turn our attention from fiction to nonfiction literature with a focus on World War II. In writing, students are researching and writing informational papers on people, places, and events that played a big role in World War II. Topics range from General George Patton to Auschwitz, and to the development and dropping of the atomic bombs. We are reading the book I Have Lived a Thousand Years to give the students a closer look into the Holocaust, and the students are reading World War II topic books in their guided reading groups. We use our WW2 books to look in-depth into main ideas, text structures, and inferencing. It is all very eye-opening and fun for the students!
Welcome to West Marshall!

Our staff truly believes that ALL students can learn at high levels and we strive to accomplish this on a daily basis.

I am a proud member of the West Marshall graduating class of 1993. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from Iowa State University and my Masters in Educational Leadership from the University of Western Illinois.

Outside of school I enjoy spending time with my wife Andrea and our children Grace, Andrew and Noah. I also am an avid Iowa Hawkeye and St. Louis Cardinals fan.
