    we are looking forward to new learning styles,
    material, and even some different interactions.

    5th Grade Math and Science

    Fifth grade, here we come!  As you are aware, this is our class web site! I am so glad you have decided to visit! Use our web site to see homework updates (if there is snow or something ;), the county calendar, what project we are working on, important information, extra credit opportunities, or maybe find out what's for lunch. I do my best to keep the website updated with information that will help keep students and parents on track, especially if there is a question about a due date or some instructions. Please, email me with any concerns or questions. Thanks again for letting me be a part of your students' lives.  But as always, YOU are your child's most important teacher!

  • Important Information: 

    EXTRA CREDIT!!!!

     

    Wait!

    Let me take a “SCIFIE!”

    That’s right, a Science selfie, Scifie! We want to see you doing science activities.  If you are doing any activity associated with Science, take a Scifie of yourself!  Then email it to me so I can add it to the photo album on our web page.  Students can earn 5 extra credit points for each Scifie they submit, with a 20 points max per grading period. Be ready to explain your Scifie to the class so that we can appreciate your scientific selfie moment!

All About Me


  • SchoolCenter Picture

    My name is April White and I grew up right here in East Tennessee. I went to University School and graduated from ETSU in 1996. That same year, I married my amazing husband, Monty. We love to camp, SCUBA dive, visit with our children and grandson.  Monty and I enjoy adventures and outdoor activities such as hiking and kayaking. My oldest daughter, Emily,  and her husband, John, live in Gig Harbour, WA where she cares for our grandson, Lincoln.  Her husband John, is in the Navy. My youngest daughter, Elizabeth, just graduated from King University where she was an active member of their acro and tumbling team.  Elizabeth will be getting married in August and we will be welcoming a new son-in-love, Dylan, into the family. Elizabeth has also accepted a seat in the upcoming fall cohort at Lincoln Memorial University PA school. Ethan just graduated from Boone and will be attendint the University of Tennessee in the fall GO VOLS! He will be persuing a degree in psycology. I enjoy summer because I value spending time with my family.

    I have been teaching at Ridgeview since it opened in the Fall of 2008. Before that, I taught 3rd grade at Gray Elementary School. I am currently teaching math and science in fifth grade. Even though last year was unlike any other here at RVS, I know we will have a great year, whether virtual or in person. I truly enjoy teaching and love to see my students grow.  I believe that all children are capable of great things if just given the chance and positive support! 

    GO RAPTORS! 

    Always fun at school!
