Hello Families of Ms. Gregor’s 3rd grade class!
My name is
Ms. Birmingham (or Ms. B for short), and I am excited to have the opportunity
to start my Student Teaching in your student’s classroom! I am completing my Masters in Teaching
through Concordia University and I will be in the classroom everyday with Ms. Gregor
until the end of the school year.
Over the
next few weeks I will be observing and helping with reading and math
groups. At the end of April, I will be
teaching a unit of 10 lessons on Portland bridges. Through this Math and Social Studies unit, students
will be introduced to the three main types of bridges, where these types of
bridges are located in Portland, and the hard work that goes into building them. At the end of the unit, we’re going to build
some bridges ourselves! I’m looking forward to watching everyone explore!
When I can
find spare time, I enjoy spending time with my four-year-old daughter, my
husband, our three chickens and our two new kittens! We live in Linnton, which is about one mile
northwest of the St. Johns Bridge on Hwy. 30. Forrest Park is basically our
backyard, so we can often be found hiking and exploring close to home!
I am truly
looking forward to the upcoming weeks with Ms. Gregor and your students. I will keep you updated on our bridge
engineering skills!
Regards,
