I was born and raised in California and for as long as I can remember, I've always wanted to teach elementary students.  I have been in education since 2004 and have taught 2nd - 5th grade.  Fifth  grade is my happy place.  I believe in educating the whole child academically, socially and emotionally by building a community within our classroom where all students feel safe and supported.  I have a passion for creating experiences in the classroom that provide students with opportunities to engage and connect with the curriculum in authentic and meaningful ways.  

Some of the things I enjoy are traveling, reading, walking,  exploring the out doors, and spending time with family and friends, and  of course teaching!  

Please be sure to "like" our classroom Facebook page "Mrs. Schwenning's Scholars".  I am looking forward to a fantastic school year.
