Grade 4 - Ms. Kathy Coleman

4th Grade Rocks!!
 
Hello!!  I am Kathy Coleman, the fourth grade teacher.  I am a motivated, enthusiastic Catholic educator with 30 + years of experience in fostering cohesive student learning.
 
I am an organized teaching professional, who encourages active participation in a fun learning environment.  I have my Master’s degree in Educational Leadership from Avila University and partner with them throughout the school year, helping the education department.
 
I am an active member of St. Thomas More Parish.  I enjoy all sports, especially volleyball, football, and baseball.  I enjoy reading and traveling.  My favorite books include Harry Potter and A Wrinkle in Time.
 
My family consists of my mother, whom I take care of in our home.  I have a full time nurse at home while I am here.    We have two large dogs who enjoy being spoiled by us.  Hosmer, our Great Dane puppy, was rescued from Nebraska.  Thor, our German Shepherd mix, came to us from St. Louis.  They stay home and entertain my mom.  Her job is to spoil them good! 

Clover, the OLP comfort dog, is being fostered at my home.  She comes to work with me and her kennel is in my room, however, she is very often out and about "working" with the children.  She is now part of two families, OLP's and my home family.  We love her!!  

 Every year, I consider the students that are in my classes to be my children, so this year I have 52 children !  I enjoy coming to work every day!!
