Greetings from 4th Grade! My name is Cassie Akerson and I am excited to be starting my thirteenth year of teaching.  I received a Bachelor's of Science in Elementary Education, with a grades 5-8 Math specialty and a Master's of Science in Curriculum and Instruction from St. Cloud State University. Teaching to the whole child is most important to me while meeting their social, emotional and academic needs.  I provide relevant, rich and rigorous instruction so that all of my students are successful. Teaching 4th grade is a passion of mine and brings me great joy.
