Ms. Kalra

 Hello, everyone! I'm Baani, and I am absolutely thrilled to be your child's writing, social studies, and science teacher this year. With an undergraduate degree from UC San Diego and a Masters degree from TWU, I've spent the last ten years honing my craft and teaching 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders. Alongside my teaching partners, Ms. Amaya (reading) and Mrs. Gulati (math), we'll form a dynamic team dedicated to nurturing their growth and curiosity. I can't wait to embark on this exciting year with your children. 

When I'm not in the classroom, my world revolves around my wonderful family. I share my life with my amazing husband, Sumit, and our two incredible kids - Neil, who is seven and will be entering second grade at McSpedden, and my playful 4-year-old, Liam, who's getting ready for pre-K. Together, we love hiking in nature, exploring new places during our travels, and getting creative with crafting projects. 

As a teacher, my ultimate goal is to foster a passion for writing in your children, encouraging their creativity and imagination through the power of storytelling. I strongly believe that curiosity is the key to learning, and I'm committed to inspiring your kids to ask questions and seek knowledge fearlessly. Moreover, I aim to instill a deep love and appreciation for our state's history, making sure that they connect with their roots and understand the rich heritage of our land. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns that you may have. I can be reached at kalrab@friscoisd.org or by phone 469.633.4025. I'm looking forward to a fantastic year!
