Hi, and welcome to the 6G web site. My name is Michelle Garrett and I was born and raised in Fresno. This is my 11th year teaching 6th grade language arts, math, and social studies at St. Anthony’s. I enjoy reading to my students, playing math games, and particularly teaching about ancient civilizations. Especially Egypt! The most rewarding part of being a teacher at St. Anthony’s is when students, past and present, come by just to visit and share what is going on in their lives.
When I am not teaching I enjoy spending time with my husband Jason, my 7 year old son Michael, and my 2 year old daughter Lauren. We love the beach, especially Monterey and Santa Cruz, playing miniature golf, reading books, watching movies, watching our pet turtle Rocket, and walking to the ice cream store around the corner from our house.
Our first few months of school are under way and we are learning so much. Currently we are reading as a class the Novel Maniac Magee, and exploring the concept of acceptance of other people who have differences. In math we are working on order of operation, exponents, and writing and solving algebraic expressions. WOW! Social studies starts the year with our cave man unit. We will cave paint in the dark, become archaeologists and “dig” in the dirt for artifacts, and participate in a cave man diet. YUMMY!
Thank you to the 6th grade parents for allowing me the privilege of working with your child this year. Together, we can help your child develop a genuine love of learning and a strong foundation for the 7th grade and beyond. I believe I have my dream job. I love to see my students curious and strive for knowledge. With a positive environment this will happen.
