TEACHER OF THE WEEK
Sarah Harvey: 4th grade teacher.
I am honored to be Teacher of the Week at Chavez Elementary! My teaching career in Little Elm ISD is in its twenty-first year, and this is my first year at Chavez, full time. Many years ago I taught in the gifted and talented program at Chavez, among other campuses. In the classroom I've taught PK-2nd and, as is my current position, 4th grade. I enjoy being in a departmentalized assignment where I can share students with a teaching partner. I enjoy teaching math and science to our 4th graders!
Away from school I like to spend time with my extended family. I have nine nieces and nephews and two grandnieces. We like to travel, play games, and go to the theater together. My own household has four furry members: my dogs Skipper and Scamper, and my cats Galinda and Elphaba.
I'm so excited to be a part of the Chavez family and am looking forward to a great Spring Semester!
