Thank you for checking out my website. I am Gabrielle Schmidt, your child's kindergarten teacher. Here is a little bit about myself.
This is my fourth year in Kindergarten; two at Brookside Elementary. I am excited to continue this journey at Eastwood Elementary for a second year! When I first joined the Big Rapids team, I was the 3rd-5th Grade Learn from Home teacher. Teaching three grade levels through a computer was crazy, but I learned so much about technology integration in education. Previously, I was a Pre-K teacher for three years at Ferris State University. I love teaching this age group and the energy they bring to the classroom! That's why I'm so excited to have your child in kindergarten.
I am a Cheboygan Area High School graduate (2014), and I have lived in the Big Rapids area for ten years. I graduated from Ferris State University and fell in love with this community! I currently live with my fiancé and love living next to the river! It's perfect for boat rides, fishing, and taking longs walks around. We have one cat, Mo Mittens, who is three years old.
This will be my last year as Ms. Schmidt. Next year, I will be Mrs. Enszer!
I love TJ Maxx, reading, spending time with friends, and TEACHING! One of my favorite hobbies is using my iPad, Cricut, and Canva to create designs. I'm a TeacherPayTeachers seller and love sharing with a community of teachers. Recently I've become more adventurous with archery and bow fishing, as well as attempting to water ski!
My fiancé Blake and I live together in Big Rapids.
Mo Mittens is 4 years old.
I love making digital art!
Blake proposed June of 2023. Future Mrs. Enszer coming in 2025.
I travel to many different MI lakes and rivers in the summer. Here is a picture of friends skiing on Chippewa Lake.
I love decorating and DIY projects. Most of our classroom posters I made, or create with students!
My Grandma Schmidt, an Ojibwe tribe member, was born and raised on Mackinac Island.
Fall is my favorite season, especially watching the leaves change color along the Muskegon River.
We love going to concerts. Here is us at the Motley Crue concert last year!
Florida is my favorite vacation spot! And the only place I've vacationed at.
Christmas is my favorite holiday!
Fishing/hunting is a big part of our life!
