🤍💚 Teacher of the Year Celebrations 💚🤍

Today we are celebrating Ms. Giacchino, a Teacher of the Year for Kirkwood Elementary. For the past six years, Ms. Giacchino has been teaching perseverance and resiliency.

"As a K-5 special education teacher in a CDC classroom, the daily challenges in a self-contained life skills classroom are real, but so are the rewards," says Ms. Giacchino. "This experience has taught me the value of perseverance and the impact of maintaining a positive outlook. My students continually show resilience in the face of adversity, which inspires me to stay resilient and positive for them. Teaching in a self-contained life skills class has been a journey of growth and learning. It’s about building trust, celebrating small victories, and creating a compassionate and inclusive environment where every student can thrive. The experience has profoundly shaped my understanding of what it means to teach, guide, and support students with diverse abilities."

We love celebrating our teachers as they make so many positive impacts on our students! Through February 21, the district will continue celebrating our Teachers of the Year as we move towards the annual Teachers of the Year event hosted by the CMC Education Foundation.

Julie Barrow is a 6th-grade teacher who has been shaping lives for the past 18 years. This year, we are celebrating her as Kirkwood Middle's Teacher of the Year!

When asked what her favorite lesson is each year, she said, "Funny enough, I love teaching poetry. Coming into 6th grade, students are usually apprehensive about poetry, but I try to make it fun and engaging. I love how poetry allows for personal interpretation; every student can connect with a poem in a unique way based on their experiences and feelings."

"Additionally, poetry can introduce complex themes and emotions in a compact format, prompting deep discussions about meaning, imagery, and sound," said Ms. Barrow. "I enjoy guiding students through the process of analyzing poems and then inviting them to write their own, which often leads to unexpected and profound insights. It’s rewarding to see them discover the power of words and the beauty of expression through poetry!"

This meeting is open to incoming kindergarten families - beginning kindergarten in the 2025-2026 school year.

DETAILS
Thursday, December 5, 2024

The National Blue Ribbon Award-winning Spanish Immersion Elementary School uses a proven method of educating children by immersing them in the Spanish language so they become bilingual. In a language immersion program, the classroom environment becomes the setting for language acquisition through subject content instruction, educational discourse, and social interactions. Students who enter the program need to be committed to continuing Spanish dual-language learning through 5th grade at Barksdale, with options to continue immersion through high school.

Complete the interest form and join the mailing list regarding the application process.
