Ms. Castillo's 1st Grade Class
My name is Catherine Castillo and this will be my second year teaching for Springfield Public Schools. I hold an undergraduate degree in Elementary Education from Missouri State University and am currently pursuing my graduate degree in Elementary Education at MSU as well. I am originally from Florida, but have spent much of my life here in Missouri. I enjoy spending time with my wonderful fiance and my two beautiful boys. I love to travel, spend time outdoors, scrapbook, read, and learn.
The theme for our classroom is "Ms. Castillo's Explorers." We will be exploring new ideas and concepts and taking a "hands-on" approach to learning. Our classroom will be designed around this theme in both decoration and philosophy in order to instill an explorative approach to learning. Students will become a community of learners who will learn from and with their classmates in a safe and nurturing environment.
I greatly encourage you to maintain an active role in your child's education. Please feel free to call or email me with your questions or concerns. I would love to hear from you. I look forward to an exciting year here at Weller and am glad to have the opportunity to be a part of your child's life.
