Welcome to our ocean classroom! I'm Kelsey Veve, and I'm thrilled to be your child's third-grade teacher this year. In our cheerful ocean-themed room, inspired by my love for the beach, we'll dive into a journey of learning together.
A little about me: I'm a native Austinite, born and raised right here in the heart of Texas. Teaching isn't just a profession for me, it's a passion that I truly love. I'm joined in this noble pursuit by my husband, who is also a dedicated educator.
My greatest joys in life are my two sons, Henry, age 8, and Calvin, who's 4 years old. Their energy and curiosity inspire me to create a classroom environment that fosters imagination, inclusivity and positivity. And let's not forget our furry family member, Mellee, our 12-year-old rescue dog who brings even more joy into our home.
When I'm not in the classroom, you'll often find me immersed in my love for arts and crafts, particularly jewelry making, watercolor painting, and repurposing found objects. I also enjoy reading, swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, organizing things, and playing outside with my boys!
My teaching journey began in 2018. I joined RPE in 2019, where I've had the privilege of teaching third grade ever since. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of my students each and every day.
Welcome to what promises to be the BEST year of elementary school! Together, we'll create memories that will last a lifetime.
My happy place
Creating & selling my jewelry creations
I adore all animals.
Rollerskating with Mrs. Scott
Paddling around the lake
Enjoying fresh air, sunshine, and nature's beauty!
We love to soak up the heat with pools, sprinklers, and water balloons!
Making fluffy slime and learning through play is my kind of experiment!
