Mrs. Beck
Kindergarten

My name is Mary Beck and I am excited to be teaching Kindergarten this year.

I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Romance and Classical languages, with a secondary teaching degree in education at Michigan State University, my Master’s degree in early childhood education from Oakland University and my Elementary certification at Grand Valley State University. Yes, I love school! I hope to pass this love of learning on to my students.

I adore working with young children and marvel at their curiosity. With this in mind, I will engage them in hands-on learning experiences to motivate them to learn and build positive self-esteem.

I am looking forward to a great year with your child in the classroom.
