| Mrs. Zimmerman - Kindergarten 2014 - Central Elementary |
Yes, I got to pick who to spotlight first! I'm so grateful for this special teacher. Mrs. Zimmerman!!! I'm a little bias because she is our son's 1st Kindergarten teacher and he gets to spend 15hrs a week with her. I told our son, he's got THE BEST teacher in the whole school so he will want to pay close attention, because she is the 2014 Apline School District Teacher of the Year for Central Elementary! WOW! Now that's a pretty huge accomplishment. So it's kind of perfect to start with her for even more than my own personal bias. I also get to see how incredibly organized she is, so when she says she's known for it, she's not kidding. Thanks for all you do for our children Mrs. Zimmerman!
I'm excited to help us all get to know our Central Elementary teachers this year.
TEACHER SPOTLIGHT
I teach Kindergarten @ CENTRAL ELEMENTARY
Whitney Zimmerman
My name is Mrs. Zimmerman (a.k.a. Miss Kluber). I’m best known for organization but I want to be known for being sporty! I have my limits. I live in Utah but in my dreams I live in Australia. On the weekend you’ll find me reading a book or working on school.
I was born into a family of 4 kids and I’m the 3rd. When I was a kid I loved to play the card game speed, but I also loved to watch Batman! If I were a kid today I’d wear Jeans and a t-shirt! One of the best birthdays I had were with my family when I got to choose what my mom would make for my birthday dinner (she is a really good cook). These days when I hear my favorite song I usualy dance. I love the music of the 60’s and 70’s, especially the music of James Brown and KC and the Sunshine Band.
What food or treat would I hide under my bed? I would put a fridge under my bed, because I have a love for all types of food. My favorite meal of the day is breakfast because because it is the start of a new day. My cooking is good when it’s good and when it’s bad I just put it in the trash. My favorite indulgence is all sugar!
It was a combination of connecting with kids and the trouble I had in school which inspired me to become a teacher. I like being able to build confidence in my students, because I did not have much when I was in school. I’ve been teaching for 6 years and 5 of them have been here at Central Elementary.
My favorite subject to teach is P.E.. I love Spring and Fall. I think the weather is perfect in those seasons.
Some of the books I MUST HAVE are These is My Words, The Scarlet Pimpernel, Mo Willems Elephant and Piggie Series. Vacations are hard to come by so if I had a whole 2 weeks of pure vacation time I would read a stack of books.
I am lucky today because I am surround by good people and even better kids. B.T.W. I really can’t live without indoor plumbing!
My life motto is... It doesn’t matter! People are good and we all make mistakes, so we just need to extend a little mercy and know that people can change.
