Co-teacher Katie Rosengren

Hello, students and families of Room 101!

       My name is Ms. Rosengren and I am pleased to introduce myself as the new co-teacher for Mrs. Murphy’s second grade class.  Since I will be spending the year with your students, I think I should take to time to tell you a bit about myself.

      I moved to Albuquerque three years ago from San Diego, California to attend UNM.  My major is elementary education with endorsements in mathematics and Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, or TESOL.  This is now my senior year and my second semester of student teaching and I must say that I have enjoyed every minute of my college career so far.  I am also a cheerleader for UNM, which keeps me very connected and involved in the community.

         As far as teaching goes, I have always loved being in schools, both as a student and as a young girl helping in my mom’s classroom, and I can only imagine that my passion for teaching will continue to grow from working with Mrs. Murphy and your remarkable students.  One of my philosophies of teaching is that every student deserves the opportunity to learn and thrive regardless of race, religion, language, class, gender, age, etc., and I have committed myself to working with diverse students and communities.  I try to make learning fun for kids and help them become motivated to learn all they can.  I also find parent and family involvement to be extremely influential in a child’s education, so I encourage you to contact me with any questions, concerns, ideas, or even just funny stories about your child!

      I am looking forward to being one of your student’s teachers and building a strong classroom community this year.  As a new teacher in your student’s life, I pledge to be a positive role model and a partner in learning and hope to leave a lasting impression on your students.

                        Sincerely, 

                                   Ms. Rosengren
