Meet Mrs. Shank
Hi 5th Graders and 5th Grade families! This is my 7th year teaching 5th Grade, and my fourth year as a Crocodile! I love teaching at Sycamore Creek and look forward to working with you and your family. Fifth grade was MY favorite grade growing up, and now it is my favorite grade to teach!
I grew up in Raleigh and went to Douglas Elementary, Carroll Middle, and Sanderson High School. In 2009 I graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill with a degree in Elementary Education — and concentrations in math and science. (GO TAR HEELS!) I student taught in Chapel Hill, and then returned to my HOME county to teach 5th grade.
I’m very much a middle child and part of a great family. I have an older brother who works in as an engineer in Raleigh, and a younger sister who just finished touring as a figure skater with Disney on Ice! (She's pretty cool.) My parents also still live and work in Raleigh.
Last fall, my family grew! On November 22nd, I married my wonderful husband and friend, Daniel Shank. Mr. Shank and I recently bought a house close to North Hills, and welcomed our puppy Moses home in February. In our free time, Mr. Shank and I love to travel, cook, and read. We also volunteer at our local church and spend time with family and friends as much as possible (that includes Moses, of course!).
Below are a few pictures below of recent adventures with Mr. Shank and the rest of my family. I can’t wait to learn more about you! We’re going to have a great year together.
