Mrs. Kelly Rouse-5th Grade Teacher
Welcome to 5th Grade at Patriots Elementary! I am so excited for this year, and I hope that you feel the same. It is going to be a great year with many fun and exciting days! 5th grade is also going to be a year of great growth for your child. We will be working hard on our preparation for middle school! I will be your child's teacher for ELA and Social Studies.
Because I am going to be with your child throughout the year, I thought that you might like to know a little about me. I am originally from Ohio and moved to Charlotte 18 years ago (Go Buckeyes!!). I have been teaching for 21 ½ years and have been privileged enough to teach Kindergarten, 3, 4, 6, and 8th grade. I am excited to add 5th grade to this list ! Throughout my teaching years, I received my Masters Degree in Education and National Board Certification. My husband, Stacy, and I have two children, Lilly (12) and Aidan (8). Motherhood suites me and I am loving every second with them!
My job is not only to prepare your child for future endeavors, but to communicate with you about your child’s needs. It is so important that we work together to make this year a success. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, comments, or concerns. I look forward to the wonderful year that is ahead for all of us!
