Hello Families!
My name is Chris Calvert, and I am so excited to be your child’s Second Grade Teacher this year! This will be my second year at JRES, as I taught 4th Grade Science previously. This will be my 9th year teaching, and I’m so excited to get back down to primary! I taught Second Grade my first four years in the classroom!
I graduated from Western Kentucky University for my undergraduate degree in 2012, and moved straight to Louisville to begin my career. I started out as a Kindergarten Assistant, and eventually taught second for two consecutive years. I then moved back to Bowling Green to be closer to family, and taught 2nd and 3rd grades and Warren Elementary. While there, I completed my Master of Arts in Education from the University of the Cumberlands in 2017 with an emphasis in Leadership.
My wife and I have two beautiful girls, Hayden (4) and Kennedy (2). I apologize now because I do talk about my children, and use them in examples for discussions! :) Outside of school we enjoy being outside, attending(all of us)/watching (mainly me, but they indulge me….Go Seahawks, Roll Tide!) sporting events, and watching movies together!
I am looking forward to an amazing year, and can’t wait to get started. If you ever have any questions or concerns, please don’t ever hesitate to ask! Email or text anytime, and will help all I can in any way!
