Guest in 4th grade

Guess who is on her way to our classroom!?

Miss Thurin!

Miss Thurin is a friend of mine who teaches 3rd grade in Louisville, Ohio. I met Miss Thurin because she went to college with Mr. Bair's younger brother, Cpt. Kyle Bair.

We have completed a Monster Exchange with her class and in previous years the San Francisco SAIC fourth grade has been pen pals with the Louisville Pleasant Grove third grade.

She will spend Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday in our classroom.

Her class blog is http://www.missthurin.blogspot.com/ if you would like to check it out.

About Me

Name: 4th/5th Grade

Location: San Francisco, California, United States

From the University of California, Davis, I graduated with a BA in English Literature (major) and Teacher Education (minor). While at UCD, I competed on the swim team and was a yearbook staff writer. From the University of the Pacific in Stockton, California, I earned a Master's Degree in Education, specializing in Curriculum and Instruction. While at the University of the Pacific I also wrote and received a grant for a literacy project and for a travel project. I possess a Clear Multiple Subject teaching credential with Supplementary Authorization in English from the State of California. I have passed the examination for California Teachers of English Learners (CLAD/CTEL) in all three domains. In addition, I am classified as a 'NCLB Highly Qualified Teacher'. For eleven years I have taught fourth grade (and I love it!) My education experiences also include 5th, a 4th/5th combination class, K, 1st, high school varsity/jv sports coaching and a unique & rewarding experience supervising incarcerated dual diagnosis developmentally disabled adults in math and reading activities. I am so excited to work with you this year!!
