Hi! My name is Mrs. Holderness. I am the second grade teacher
at Creston School. I have been teaching for 27 years! This is my 28th year! Every one
of those 27 years has been here at Creston School! I spent 6 years
teaching the upper grade kids--6th grade, 5/6 grade together,
and 7th and 8th grade history. Then, I spent 13 years teaching
first grade. In the last years, I have been teaching 2nd grade.
My favorite thing to teach is Science. We do many fun science
units including Wild Animals, Solar System, Dinosaurs and the
Ocean Unit.
On a personal note, I am from Sioux Falls, South Dakota. I graduated
from South Dakota State University. I am married to a man named
Gary. I have two children named Chad and Kristin and a stepdaughter
named Risa. I also have a beautiful grandaughter named Abby. When
I am not spending time with my family, I enjoy golf, tennis, and
volleyball.
We do a lot of neat activities in the 2nd Grade! We have centers
during reading time. We work through many engaging activities
in our science units. We go on several different field trips each
year such as Brookfield Zoo, Blackberry Farm, the Pumpkin Patch,
and the Science Museum. |
