Hello! My name is Ellis Wood, and I’m thrilled to be your 4/5 Discovery Teacher this year!
Before joining the Discovery team, I spent two years as a Gifted and Talented Coordinator in Cherry Creek and two years as a fifth grade teacher here at Pine Lane. These experiences have deepened my commitment to supporting a wide range of learners, especially those who benefit from enrichment, challenge, and creative thinking opportunities.
Outside of school, I enjoy reading and skiing. I also love bringing my interests into the classroom to model curiosity and lifelong learning. Be ready to read!
I look forward to a fantastic year full of discovery, connection, and growth. Let’s make it a memorable one together!
