All About Me

Hello! My name is Marie Rupert and I love teaching 3rd grade. My classroom is a place where students will fill their minds with everything they need to learn in 3rd grade, all while enjoying being in school. I implement student-led learning as often as I can. I love to see the students bouncing ideas off each other and teaching each other new things they have learned. I strongly believe in students being comfortable throughout the long school day. I take pride in finding as many ways as possible to get the students up and moving throughout the classroom. I offer various flexible seating options to help them move around, which helps keep their mind focused at the same time. Math is my favorite subject. I love to do projects. I also love to teach students how to use all of the features available through their Google email account. 

My husband Jared and I have 2 boys, Gavin and Logan. Jared is a firefighter in Youngstown. Gavin and Logan both play hockey. We are huge Pittsburgh Steelers and Pittsburgh Penguins fans. We have two dogs, Lucy & Lainey.  

Some of my favorite activities include spending time with my family, teaching, reading, watching my favorite shows & shopping. I also teach fitness classes at MegaBarre Youngstown outside of being a 3rd grade teacher. I love country music and have an obsession with planks and arrows. 

Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns that you might have throughout the year.     

    My door is always open!
