My name is Sienna Kohlbrecher and I am excited to welcome you and your child to my 5th grade math classroom. This is my third year at Big Hollow, but I previously have taught 6th grade math for four years in another district. I graduated from Illinois State University with a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education as well as middle school endorsements in mathematics, language arts, and social science.
I expect students to be working collaboratively this year with their peers to solve real world problems and determine the various strategies that they can use to solve a problem. We will also be working towards maintaining a positive growth mindset in which students understand that making mistakes and persevering through challenges will ultimately lead them on the path towards success and learning.
Outside of the classroom I enjoy traveling, shopping, spending time outdoors, as well as with friends and family. I have a three year old morkie puppy named Jayde who takes up a lot of my time (and personal space.) I also have an energetic maltipoo puppy who is 1 year old named Figgy. She and Jayde have fun chasing each other around and playing tug-o-war with their toys.
I am looking forward to learning with your child this year as we explore 5th grade math. Please contact me with any questions or concerns you may have this year. E-mail is the best method of contact -- [email protected]
