Mrs. Wilhelm Biography

Mrs. Anna Wilhelm M.Ed.

Hello! My name is Anna Wilhelm and I am the Gifted Specialist at Sonoran Sky. I’d like to take this time to tell you a little about myself, my philosophy of education, and my expectations for your child for the upcoming school year. I am an Arizona State graduate with my Master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction. I got my Bachelor’s degree in Family Studies and Child Development from the University of Arizona. I am gifted endorsed as well as I have my Early Childhood Endorsement. I am Highly Qualified in Middle Grades and SEI. I have been teaching for 27 years and I have taught grades 2nd-6th! I have many other interests and hobbies other than education such as shopping, reading, puzzling, golfing, cooking, and traveling. Some of my favorites are that I collect anything owl, I love drinking Coke, eating Hot Tamales, and I love Dunkin' Donuts glazed donuts and I absolutely love the beach! I believe it is important to incorporate my interests as well as the children’s interests into the curriculum to enhance it.

I am very excited about working with you and your child. As your child’s teacher, I will foster their academic growth without sacrificing their individuality because I realize that all children are different and therefore learn differently. My main goal is to instill a love of learning in every child that will last a lifetime. I also believe every child deserves to learn and can learn. I want to instill self-respect as well as respect for others and the community that they live in. I believe that your role as a parent is essential in ensuring your child’s educational success. I will keep the lines of communication open through conferences, phone calls, progress reports, newsletters, and an open- door policy in my room. In the same token, I encourage you to contact me whenever you have any concerns regarding your child.

In conclusion, I am so looking forward to working with you and your child this school year. I encourage and welcome you to visit our classroom anytime you like. By working as a team, we can make this an enjoyable and memorable learning experience for all of us.
