Meet Mrs. Carver

I am from Nebraska and graduated from the University of Nebraska at Kearney. I have taught a variety of grade levels and small groups. I am looking forward to teaching first grade!

 

What I like most about teaching: I love the relationships that I build with kids. It is so much fun to get to know them and watch them grow. My favorite thing to teach is writing. I want all kids to develop a love of writing and realize anyone can be a good writer with a little practice. It’s fun to watch kids solve things they didn’t think possible and learn from things that don’t go so well. I like to have fun while I teach and enjoy a good sense of humor.

About my family: My kids and I are members of Sacred Heart Catholic Church and we live in West Des Moines. Elise graduated from Iowa State University this spring.  She is working at Anderson Tax in Des Moines.  Jack is a sophomore at Iowa State. He is big into swimming and has started to participate in water polo. He is majoring in chemical engineering. He worked as a staff member at CYC camp this summer. We enjoy doing things together as a family and are Cyclone and Cornhusker fans.  I will be looking forward to their visits home and am glad they are close by.

Outside of school I enjoy: I like to spend as much time as I can with my kids. We try to get back to Nebraska to see my mom and sister and her family as much as we can. I love to exercise, clean, read, and participate in and watch sports. I also like to bake cookies of all kinds and make scotcharoos!
