Hello families!
I am excited to be a part of the Crescent Harbor family this year! I have been teaching for ten years and this will be my second year at Crescent Harbor. I have moved around several times in my life, yet finished my degree at Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington. While in Spokane, I worked in self-contained classrooms ranging from preschool to 6th grade. For the last 10 years, I have worked specifically in different EBD classrooms. My teaching beliefs are to educate the whole child, including academics, social-emotional learning, and addressing individual behavioral needs. I differentiate instruction and presentation to create individualized learning plans unique to each student. I promote respect and dignity for both children and adults through a structured, safe, and supportive learning environment.
When I am not teaching, I enjoy being outside biking or snowboarding. I have a dog that loves to go to the beach and play fetch. Also, I am a very loyal Seahawk fan. GO HAWKS! I look forward to working as a team for you and your student this year.
Sincerely,
Ms. Kari Nguyen
