Hi there!I am extremely excited to announce that I will be your fifth grade teacher! I look forward to working with you this year. Fifth grade will be full of fun, new adventures, and lots of learning! Before we meet this fall, I thought you might like to know a little bit about me. Prior to becoming a member of the CREW, I worked on the literacy team at Lake Center Elementary for nearly two years. Before working at Lake Center, I was a substitute teacher for the Portage Public School District. I especially enjoyed my long-term position at Moorsbridge Elementary. I graduated from Western Michigan University with a Bachelor of Science in Education Degree with focuses in Science and Language Arts. Go Broncos! This year, we will be launching Project Lead The Way (PLTW), which is a program that prepares students to become innovative and productive leaders in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). I’m excited to share my love of science and hands-on learning with you! I was born and raised in Southwest Michigan and love it here. When I’m not teaching, I enjoy kayaking, yoga, reading, and running. I will be in contact with you in August to let you know when I will be in the classroom. I would love the opportunity to meet you before the start of the school year. I will also be attending the PTO Movie Night on Friday, September 1st. I hope to see you there! I look forward to an amazing year together! |
