Fifth Grade Teacherkvansicklesjolc.orgWelcome!
I’m Mrs. VanSickle, and I’m thrilled to welcome you to an exciting academic year filled with engaging activities and meaningful learning. I’m passionate about working alongside my students to create a supportive and dynamic classroom where every learner can thrive.
Professional Background:
I earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a minor in Coaching from the University of Wisconsin River Falls, followed by a Master of Arts in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of St. Thomas in Minneapolis. Since joining the Saint John’s community in April 2000, I have enjoyed growing both personally and professionally in this vibrant environment.Outside of teaching, I love coaching, staying active through sports, gardening, reading, and cherishing time with my family.
Educational Philosophy:
My goal is to cultivate a welcoming and positive classroom atmosphere where students feel valued and inspired to engage deeply in their learning. I believe that every student has unique strengths and, through encouragement and collaboration, we can unlock their full potential together.
