Kindergarten

Melanie Gardiner | Kindergarten Teacher

I received my teaching credentials from Weber State University. I have always loved working with five year olds, and am thrilled to be teaching Kindergarten! Even though I have had my teaching degree since 2002, this is only my fifth year teaching, and I love it!! My favorite thing to do when I am not teaching is to read a good book. I also love spending time with my family and going on adventures.

Hi there! I graduated from Southern Utah University with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education along with a minor in Special Education. This is my first year teaching and I am so excited to be teaching Kindergarten! I have a passion and love for teaching and helping my students learn and discover new things around them! When I am not teaching I love spending time with my family, watching movies, baking, and playing pickle ball!

I graduated from Utah Tech University with my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education. I have an ESL endorsement and I am currently working on a math endorsement. I love to read, listen to music, attend concerts and plays, swim, and soak up the sunshine. Teaching my Kindergarten students to read and helping them love learning is the best job!

I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education from Brigham Young University - Idaho, with an emphasis in social studies. This is the start of my sixth year teaching. I have taught Kindergarten all of my years and I love it! It is extremely heartwarming to see the children make so much growth in such a short amount of time. They work so hard and learn so much! I love to spend time with my husband and my family. We enjoy getting together to watch Alabama football (Roll Tide!), Chargers football (Bolt Up!), swim, have game nights, and watch movies. As long as my family is close, I’m happy!
