Welcome to Fifth Grade
Mrs. Gehring's Class
So Glad to Have You Here
This is my 8th year teaching at Emmons School. I started as a 3rd grade teacher here, but moved to 5th grade in 2014. As a member of the Technology Committee here at Emmons I am very much looking forward to using our new Chromebooks and incorporating technology easily into our learning this year. Your students will become very familiar with our delivery method, the Google Classroom this year.
A little about me: I am a proud alumnus of Iowa State University (Go Cyclones), and have also received degrees from the University of Cincinnati, and Roosevelt University. I have always had a deep interest in public service and helping children that has guided most of my life. In addition to my love of teaching in a school setting, I also teach ballet, tap, and jazz at a dance studio as well as choreograph and teach skills for a color guard. I live at home with my husband and two sons (1st Grader and Preschooler) and my faithful dog, "Pug Pug." I enjoy spending time outdoors and hiking.
This year, I will strive to challenge your child and create meaningful learning experiences. I
will hold them accountable for their work and behaviors in class, and support them in any
way to make it a successful year. Lynn Sheridan, the other 5th grade teacher, and I have been working hard to prepare for this exciting year. We will each teach our own classes, but my class will go to Mrs. Sheridan for Social Studies and Mrs. Sheridan's class will come to me forScience. Therefore, we are both here to support you and your child in any way possible!
5th grade is a big year full of growing academically, socially, physically, and emotionally. I
am fully committed to doing everything in my power to guide your child in having a
positive, successful year. I will be sending home weekly newsletters, as well as updating my
website with homework assignments and important information on a regular basis. In
addition, please feel free to contact me anytime! The best ways to reach me are by phone
before or after school hours, or by email. My contact information is listed below.
I look forward to seeing you at the Picnic and School Supply drop off Tuesday, August 23 from 4:30-6:30pm.
Thank you in advance for your support this year. I look forward to working together to
make this a great year for you and your child!
