Hey everyone!
I'm Kayla VanEgmond!
I am a graduate of Michigan State University. After graduation, I spent a year starting my masters program and interning in Chicago Public School District. I taught 6th grade reading and social studies in Prince George's County, MD for two years before moving back to Michigan. I am now a 3rd grade teacher in Ypsilanti, MI.
A few little random things about me: I love peanut butter on my pancakes and Mexican food. I have a shih tzu/puggle puppy named Chewy (short for Chewbacca). I play the violin. I love the color orange. Traveling is by biggest passion.
I recently was married to a handsome ginger man in August 2011. He shares my love of teaching and is a middle school Social Studies teacher, also in Prince George's County.
I’m from Davisburg, MI and grew up on a lake, so I love to be outdoors - playing sports or waterskiing.
I am certified K-5 all subjects, 6-8 TESOL, and K-8 English, with an MSU specialization in urban education.
I am very excited about this year at Benjamin Stoddert!
