Hello!
Welcome to Third Grade! My name is Ashley Kirkpatrick. I am so excited to be your third grade teacher this year! I graduated from Brigham Young University with my degree in Elementary and Early Childhood Education. I taught third grade in Utah, and kindergarten in Texas for several years before I had children. This will be my 6th year teaching, and my 2nd year teaching at Mammoth Heights. Third grade is my absolute favorite!
My husband Kyle and I have 5 amazing children. Our oldest is 19 and our youngest will be a fourth grader here at MHE. Our kids have been attending Mammoth Heights since 2009. I love spending time with my family! You can find me on Saturdays cheering for my kids at their various sporting events. I also love to bake. I have had a cake decorating business for the past 8 years and really enjoy the creativity that allows me. My other favorite things are my dog, Harley, and exercising.
Third grade is going to be so much fun this year. We are going to learn so many new things! We will continue learning about fiction and nonfiction texts, and will focus on reading comprehension skills. In math we will work on our multiplication fast facts and develop our critical thinking skills. We will learn about economics through our Mini-Society unit. I can’t wait to watch you grow this year!
