6th Grade Math with Ms. Sprankle

Meet Ms. Sprankle

Hi, I’m Ms. Sprankle, and I teach 6th grade math at Columbia Middle School. I’m so excited to work with your child this year and help them grow as an independent problem solver. This is my 9th year as an educator, and I hold a master’s degree in education. I’ve taught both upper elementary and middle school and this is my second year at CMS. I love the middle school age because six graders are curious, full of personality, and ready to take on new challenges. Helping them build confidence in math is one of my favorite parts of teaching. Building that confidence is a team effort; Families can support this by checking grades regularly and communicating with me throughout the year. Thank you for partnering with me to support your child’s success.
