Welcome to Mrs. Garvin's Science and Social Studies Page I am so excited to be teaching science and social studies to your child this year. It is wonderful to be receiving siblings of past students, new friends to WFCA, and kiddos that know me from the halls!
We will be working very hands on this year with lots of science labs and a few project based learning activities. We are going to have an amazing year of learning and growing:) I encourage you to explore and discover with your child as much as possible. This world of ours is quite spectacular and SCIENCE IS EVERYWHERE! I was born and raised in Clovis, California. I grew up on a farm where my love for animals and nature was born. My family moved to North Carolina almost six years ago and I have been with Wake Forest Charter Academy since the first year we opened. This will be my sixth-year teaching here in NC, and my third-year teaching Science and Social Studies. I attended Fresno Pacific University in California, where I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree in Elementary Education. I also attended National University in California, where I earned my Master in Ed, with a specialization in Educational Technology. I have taught every grade except kindergarten and 2nd. I truly believe that 4th grade is my happy place! My husband, Allen, and I were high school sweethearts and we now have three grown sons, Alex, Ryan, and Justin. Our son Alex lives in California with his wife Chelsy and my two beautiful granddaughters, Callie and Chloe. I was blessed to be able to spend three weeks in California this summer doing all sorts of fun grandma stuff! I put my whole heart into teaching children to love the process of learning, we are going to have an amazing year and I am looking forward to getting to know your child! |
