Hi, my name is Kristin McDaniel and I am the Fourth Grade homeroom teacher here at St. Philip’s. I currently teach Fourth Grade Reading, English, Social Studies, and Religion, as well as Fifth Grade Reading and English. I have been with St. Philip’s for 3 years, and this is my seventh year of teaching. I have a Master’s Degree in Elementary Education from James Madison University (Duuuukes…!) In the classroom, I enjoy working with students to dig into new concepts and in particular novel studies, and through discussion help students come to their own conclusions in learning and new understanding. I also enjoy working with students on various projects that help promote their experience with everything we learn. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy time with my husband and our various furry and feathery pets, reading, writing, drawing and other artistic endeavors, and gardening.
