Welcome

My name is Mr. Rabenston and I've been teaching at Fern Drive Elementary since 2000.  I created this site on Haiku to give parents some background on myself and provide classroom information.  Here are some useful things you will find on this site:

1. Background information about me.
2. Answers to frequently asked questions about our classroom.
3. Class and grade level expectations. 
4. Contact information for me. 

This year I'm really excited about my class!  I have a lot of familiar faces returning. My 5th graders will be continuing their journey in upper grade.  They have a lot to look forward to!  I hope this site is informative and useful for both the parents and students involved.
