1st Grade Teacher

Work Email: INTERNET
My name is Amy Sommer. I have been a teacher for over 10 years.I have a Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education and a Masters Degree in Curriculum and Instruction. I have taught all lower elementary grades (pre-k to 3rd grade), but 1st grade is my very favorite grade to teach. I am married to my best friend and am a mom to 3 very energetic boys ages 11, 9, and 5 as well as expecting my 4th son in December. When I am not at school I love spending time with my family doing anything outdoors including kayaking, boating, swimming and camping. Some of my favorites include: pink, reading and target. I LOVE Armstrong and am thankful to teach at the very best school!
