mrs. Kalvels
Mrs. Kalvels I am! Mrs. Kalvels I am! I do not like green eggs and ham. But I do love my morning Starbucks:) CHEERS!
Ok, it's not quite as catchy as Dr. Seuss’s Sam I am character. But it certainly is a statement which is true to me. My kiddos can tell you that without fail every single morning there will be a Starbucks Coffee cup on my desk. Even the day I wore my pj's to school I proudly walked into Starbucks
with a smile on my face. Knowing I was a teacher of course as soon as they saw me they said "nope don't tell us it's pajama day." My second obsession is books! I am empowered by reading! I love making characters come to life. I incorporate reading in every aspect of my teaching. Elizabeth Hardwick once said "The greatest gift is a passion for reading. It is cheap, it consoles, it distracts, it excites, it gives you knowledge of the world and experience of a wide kind. It is a moral illumination." Since I'm on the subject of books. All my kids know my all time favorite store in the whole wide world. Barnes-n-Noble! Not only do they sell books but a Starbucks is attached. What more can a gal ask for? Hee Hee!!

A little more about me:
I live in Ft. Collins with my handsome husband, Erik, and our two
cats Sushi and Sumo. They are our two mischievous bundles of joy, until we have
one of our own! I am from Texas and Georgia and earned by BA in Early Childhood
Education at Berry College in Rome, Georgia. I am currently enrolled at Regis
University earning my Masters in Instruction Technology. I should be finished in
spring! Yeah! I love technology and think it's important to keep up with the
21st century skills in education. I have been teaching for 11 years now. Three
years in Georgia, three years in England, and this is my 5th year at Bethke. I
love teaching! It is my passion and dream ever since I was in Kindergarten
myself! I think every day how lucky I am to be doing what I love! I'm looking
forward to teaching and learning along with your kids!
