Hello! 

My name is Mrs. Misha Johnson, and I am excited to be the Lead Learner of Science and Social Studies in 5th grade at W. J. Christian. I am a native of Birmingham and former student of Birmingham City Schools.  I completed my undergraduate studies in Early Childhood and Elementary Education at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB).  I earned a Master’s degree in Instructional Technology from Fort Hays State University.  I am entering my seventeenth year in Education.  

My goals this year include inspiring our scholars to read, write, and think like scientist. The areas of science that we will study are Physical Science, Life Science, and Earth Science.  We will design and experience investigations that apply the scientific method to these areas.  Scholars will learn about the history of the United States from the prehistoric era to the Industrial Revolution and engage in thoughtful conversations in Social Studies. As students share viewpoints, my goal for our scholars is for them to learn to become respectful of others even though their viewpoints may differ. 

 We will have a great year and “Charge to the Next Level.”
