Ms. Hilarides
My Name is Kaitlyn Hilarides, and I have enjoyed teaching 2nd grade at Newberry Springs Elementary School for 3 years. Newberry Springs is my home town, and it is exciting to be able to give back to the community that I grew up in. I enjoy spending time with family, traveling to different states and participating in community events in my free time.
My goals for the students in my classroom are as follows: to love learning, to respect each other and themselves, and to learn responsibility. My students are encouraged to ask questions, explore new ideas, and own their mistakes. When all else fails, because sometimes it does, we come back to these things, and we READ, READ, READ. Sometimes teaching is messy. Sometimes it doesn’t go as planned. However, learning will always happen if we take the time to reflect on the process.
I’d love to answer any questions you have for me at [email protected].
