WELCOME TO OUR CLASSROOM!
Hello! I am Mrs. Carol Dunton and I'm so happy to welcome you and your child to our virtual classroom! We have a wonderful year ahead of us with a rich curriculum and a lot of fun along the way. I love helping my kiddos learn new skills! I am amazed at how much young minds want to know, how they are curious about everything around them, and how eager they are to explore and learn all that they can! Please take a look at all of the information here as it will help make the beginning of school easier for you and your child to access. Let's do this!
Please click through the slides below for important information and resources about school supplies, communication and websites.

A Little Bit About Me:
A Little Bit About Me:
This is my 44th year as a educator; my 23nd with Gilbert Public Schools. I earned my Bachelor's degree in 'Elementary Education' with a minor in 'Early Childhood Education' from ASU. I later earned my Master's degree in 'Curriculum and Instruction' from NAU. Previously, I taught 1st & 2nd grade at Gilbert Elementary for 20 years. This is my third year teaching for Gilbert Global Academy!
I have lived in Gilbert for 30 years and have two grown children; a son and a daughter. I have two grandsons, Calvin (6) and Frankie (3), with another grandson due any minute now! I love reading, crafting, working in my garden, and taking care of my critter menagerie (3 chickens, 3 cats and a desert tortoise). My favorite restaurant is Nando's Mexican Cafe and I love spending time in the forest up on the Mogollion Rim.
