All About Mrs. Korwatch

I am originally from New Jersey and moved to Reidsville, North Carolina when I was 9.  I attended UNC-Greensboro for Elementary Education and graduated in 2006.  I taught third grade for 1 ½ years in Guilford County and then moved to Jacksonville, NC in 2008.  Over the next 2 years I worked on my Master’s Degree in Language & Literacy while working as a teacher assistant in Kindergarten in Onslow County.  I completed my degree in May 2010 and returned to teaching that fall.  I worked for 2 years in 5th grade at Cape Fear Elementary in Pender County.  I had a baby in March of 2012 (now in 8th grade!) and I wanted to be closer to home.  I was fortunate enough to become a part of Carolina Beach Elementary’s staff.  This is my 14th year at CBES!!  I have spent 6 years teaching 3rd grade, 1 year teaching 2nd grade, 3 years as a literacy teacher & MTSS Coordinator, and now this will be my 4th year teaching 1st grade.  I am SUPER excited for this school year!  Wow, my 20th year of teaching!  In my spare time, I enjoy reading, sleeping, refurbishing old furniture, and spending time with my family.  I’m very enthusiastic for another school year and I look forward to getting to know my students and families.
