About MRs. O'hayre 

My Philosophy 

The 2025-2026 school year will be my 14th here at Coronado and I am so excited for it! I have a deep-rooted passion for helping kids grow not only academically, but socially and emotionally as well. I believe in  fostering a learning environment in which every child feels safe to take academic risks, work hard, and  have fun. I typically  incorporate a variety of learning modalities in my teaching, including visual, auditory, and hands-on opportunities. Of course, learning is more enjoyable and engaging when kids actually like being at school; therefore humor is one of my most valuable tools in teaching!  I love to make the students laugh by making jokes and singing as I teach (not well, I might add). There is nothing more important than building a team of support for each child, so I look forward to working with all the staff, children, and parents to make sure each student's needs are met. 

Please feel free to email me any time this year with questions, comments, or concerns.  I can't wait for another wonderful year of 5th grade at Coronado!!
