Welcome to "our" 5th grade classroom! My name is Barb Raak and I have been teaching in South Haven for over 20 years. I have 4 children, all of which are now married and have children of their own, making me a grandmother, also! I live in South Haven with my husband Jim on our family fruit farm.
I enjoy teaching, especially math and science. I also coach the J.V. softball team at the high school in the spring. I am a looping teacher, meaning I get a classroom of 4th grade students and then keep them the following year for 5th grade. It is a wonderful arrangement that keeps the learning flowing without a lot of interruptions.
