Welcome to Miss Gardner's Class
This is my 6th year at Kimberly Elementary School. My first three years I taught Special Education grades K-5. I loved being a SPED teacher, but I am so excited to grow as an educator and experience 3rd grade! This is my second career, I spent over ten years working in children's hospitals in the Phoenix Arizona area as a Child Life Specialist. I have a love and passion for children and feel so grateful to be part of your child's experience at Kimberly Elementary School.
When I am not teaching, I love spending time weightlifting, hiking, traveling, and photography...all while listening to my favorite podcasts!
Classroom Information:
When communicating I like to use Seesaw, I send all classroom announcements through this app, helping you be part of your child's learning and assignments. Please feel free to email/call and I will always do my best to get back to you as soon as possible.
