Hi! I'm Kate, and this is my eighteenth year of teaching. I have mostly taught primary, however I have experience in grades1-6. I have taught in a large urban district, a small university lab school, and even in a digital classroom!
My teaching style is all about bringing fun and energy into my room! You will see us sing, dance, create, paint, and play with a focus on learning. My room is bursting with rainbow bright colors, including my Betta fish named...you got it...Rainbow. I love to engage my students in ways that interest them like playing games and using hands-on materials. Running on iced coffee and sunshine!
