I teach in the PEPP
program and I will have the Big Macs this year. This will
be my 6th year at Creekside including
one year as a long term sub. I grew up in the LA area and moved here
to go to UCSD and have been here ever since. In my spare time I like
to read and go to the beach.
|
I have taught Kindergarten for three years. Previous to
that, I was a Reading Specialist and a Resource Specialist. I
love to read anywhere, especially the beach! My favorite thing to do
is to spend time with my husband, Joe, our daughter, Betsy, 23, and son,
Jeff, 17.
|
My
husband, AJ, is originally from San Diego
and had always wanted to move back, so, 3 years ago we moved here from
Virginia.
I taught kindergarten at Turtleback one
year and two at Highland Ranch. I have 3 awesome kids; Brianna (4th
grade) Kaylee (2nd
grade) and Brady (he just turned ONE!) I am very excited to join you
all!

I have
been teaching for 7 years. I taught first grade for 2 years, K-1 for two years,
the PEPP program for 1 year, and kindergarten for three years. This year is
my first year teaching Reading Recovery. My favorite things to do
are to spend time with my family, the outdoors, including running and
reading on the beach. I have four wonderful children; Katie, Mallory, Kelsie and Brooks (my favorite people!), and they range
from ages 18-24.
|
I have
been teaching for 6 years. I taught 1st grade for 5 years in the Bay
Area. When we moved to San Diego last
year I was hired to teach a K-1 at Turtleback Elementary
School. I live with my husband and two
children (Nate, 12 and Courtney, 8) in Rancho Bernardo. When I'm not
at school you can find me watching my kids play sports or hanging out with
my family. My family loves to go on extreme hiking vacations,
especially when a swimming hole is involved!
|
I was
born in Mexico City and moved to San Diego in my early
childhood. I consider myself a "native" and graduated from
SDSU. I have a masters in Educational
Technology and a background in nursing. I currently teach Kindergarten
but have also taught 1st, 3rd and 4th grades. I am the proud
mother of 3 wonderful grown children David (28) an art director for a local
company, Erich (25) a toy designer for Mattel and Elizabeth (22) finishing
her last year at SDSU and a future veterinarian.

within Poway Unified School District.
I have a M.Ed. in Reading

I have taught elementary school for over 30 years, and
have had the fun of teaching every grade from K-5. I attended Occidental College, where I was a piano
major. I enjoy reading, my garden, and playing golf at every
opportunity with my husband Jerry. Our two grown sons live in
southern California,
so we get to be together often.
|
I have
been teaching third grade for 11 years. I enjoy spending time with my
two children, Bradi and Beckett, and my husband
Brian. Beckett is 5 months and Bradi will
be 2 in August. I also like running, playing soccer, and being
outdoors.
|
I was always very shy growing up, but when I was
selected for the May 1995 issue of GQ I knew I had made it. After several
years in Hollywood
I decided enough is enough and it was time to hang out with the common
folk. So here I am living the humble life of a teacher. Oh, no autographs please.

Hello Geckos!
Prior to teaching Poway fourth graders at Shoal Creek last year I taught
fourth and fifth grade students in sunny southern Arizona for six years. I love

things I like to do for fun are swimming, watching movies, chatting with
friends and reading.

Originally,
I hail from Ohio, but I've been in the San Diego area
for sixteen years. Currently, I live in Rancho Bernardo with my
wonderful husband and two sons (12 and 13 years old). I was a
stay-at-home mom for several years, ran a home day care, and returned to
school for a teaching credential and masters in my 30's...Better late than never. :)
Teaching is my love and passion, and I can't wait to meet your
kiddos!

During
the upcoming school year I'll be teaching a 4/5 combo class.
This will be my fourth year at Creekside,
but my 7th year teaching. I was born in San Diego,
but have lived all over the country, from California
to Massachusetts to Florida! My free time is
generally spent outdoors or with my dog, Cooper.
|
I teach fifth grade and I have
also taught 2, 3, and a 4/5 combo in the last nine years. This Boston girl has moved around a lot so I have taught in
many different places such as Pasadena, Monterey, Ft.
Lauderdale, and Miami. My husband and I have
finally settled down and are now anxiously awaiting the arrival of our
first child in the fall!
