Welcome to 5th grade!  My name is Melissa Kaufman. I am so excited to be back teaching 5th grade again! This is my 16th year teaching at Rock Ridge and my 25th year teaching. Four of those 25 years were spent teaching overseas in Panama.  I have experience teaching 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 6th grade. I graduated from Colorado State University (Go RAMS!!!) with a B.S. in Human Development and Family Studies. I also earned my Master's degree from University of Oklahoma in Educational Psychology. 

When I am not teaching, I love spending time with my family and friends, traveling, and hiking.

This is going to be a terrific year! If we work together, stay positive, and practice healthy habits, we will have a memorable and successful 5th grade year! Please check my website frequently for important dates, events, and news.
