Welcome to Mrs. Shreiner's Classroom!
“We are all pencils in the hand of God.” -Mother Teresa
Hello and welcome to 4th grade!
My name is Mrs. Shreiner, and I am delighted to be your child’s teacher this year. I am so excited to start my fifth year of teaching and my second year here at St. Joseph Catholic School.
Being a teacher was something I always felt I was called to do. I received my undergraduate degree from St. Norbert College and recently received a Master’s degree in Elementary Education. When I’m not in the classroom, you can find me reading a good book, exploring the outdoors, or spending time with my family and dog.
I believe in creating a supportive and inclusive environment where every student feels valued and inspired to reach their full potential. This year, students will expand their reading and math skills, explore their relationship with God and others, and work together to serve the community. I am excited to teach Social Studies again this year, where we will take a tour of the United States, learning about its history, people, and geography.
I’m so lucky to have the support of two wonderful teacher's aides, Mrs. Broken and Mrs. Graham. Their expertise and commitment are truly invaluable, and I couldn’t be more excited to have them as part of our classroom team. Together, we’re ready to make this year a remarkable one for our students!
I’m excited for a fantastic year of growth, discovery, and fun with your child! If you ever have any questions, please feel free to reach out. If you would like to donate to our classroom, please visit our Amazon Class Wishlist link on my webpage. Here’s to a wonderful year ahead!
God Bless,
Mrs. Shreiner
