Meet the teacher!Welcome, everyone! My name is Eliza Gingerich, and I am a first grade teacher at Eccles Elementary School in Canby, OR. I bring into my classroom seven years of joyous teaching experience. My husband, Seth, and I live in Canby with our twin 20 month old sons, Owen and Wyatt. Seth teaches 3rd grade at 91 School.
My goal each year is to make each child feel special while learning in a fun and safe environment. My vision is that every child will have high self esteem, thrive on challenges, and be able to have compassion for the needs of others. First grade is truly one of the most challenging and rewarding grades to teach. I look forward to sharing this school year with you! |
