Ms. Lewis teaches the best 3rd graders in the world! She loves teaching 3rd graders because they are always so eager to learn. Third grade also has some really important and fun topics to teach such as multiplication, fractions, cursive, immigration, and the polar regions. Ms. Lewis loves that Burley is such a close-knit community and how, when you go to school functions and fundraisers, you see kids of all ages playing together and parents and teachers talking like long-time friends. Ms. Lewis is grateful for all the special friendships she has made with her colleagues -- she even married one! Ms. Lewis considers Stephanie Harvey, Harvey Daniels, and Lucy Calkins to be some of her greatest professional influences. She knew she wanted to become a teacher when she was seven years old. Her 2nd grade teacher had a huge impact on her life, and she knew she wanted to be able to make a difference in kids' lives in the same way.
Ms. Lewis loves to watch, play, and coach a variety of sports. She plays on several different flag football leagues and in a basketball league. She and Mr. Lewis and met at Burley and got married in 2016, and they have a wonderful son, Colton. Ms. Lewis is an Arkansan at heart! She was born and raised in Northwest Arkansas and attended the University of Arkansas for college. She loves Chicago but will always be a fan of the Razorbacks! |
