About Miss Schmalbeck

Hello everyone, my name is Miss Schmalbeck and I am a second grade teacher at Grove Elementary School in Piedmont, South Carolina.

I am originally from Durham, North Carolina but I came to South Carolina in 2011 to attend Furman University. I graduated from Furman University in 2015 with a degree in elementary education. I also completed my initial teaching certification through Furman University. I recently completed a Masters of Special Education in Autism with a focus on behaviors from The University of Kansas!

This is my fifth year at Grove Elementary. After completing my student teaching in third grade.

In my free time I love exploring the outdoors and going rock climbing and backpacking! I am also the BIGGEST Duke Basketball fan, a requirement if you're from Durham. I spend a lot of my free time outside hiking and camping! I also love reading and am excited to share my favorite childhood books with my class this school year!

I am looking forward to teaching all of your children during the 2019-2020 school year! We are going to have a great year!
