Welcome to Mrs. Gilbert's Classroom Weebly
Welcome to 5th grade at Explorer! I am so excited to be your teacher this year! This is my 10th year teaching 5th grade at Explorer, and my 20th year teaching. I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Elementary Education from Montana State University. I then went on to earn a Masters of Arts degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Chapman University in California.
My husband Chad and I stay busy with our two kids, Jackson (13) and Izzy (11), who both attended Explorer before moving on to middle school. Our family likes to ski, go on adventures both near and far, play games, read, laugh, go to movies, and generally just be together. Oh, and we have a dog, cat and lizard!
Random info about me:
1. Some of my favorite foods are Reese's and Cheetos, and I despise onions and condiments.
2. I lived in Scotland for five months, and traveled to Sweden and Turkey during that time.
3. My Sundays in the fall are spent cheering for the Vikings, Broncos, and anyone who is playing the Packers.
4. It is my goal to visit every one of the 50 states - only 12 left!
5. My happy place is the cabin in northern Minnesota, surrounded by family.
