My husband, Evan, and I have been married for 10 years, and we have two precious children. Anna is eight and in the 3rd grade. August is five and is in Kindergarten.

My name is Melissa Gisler, and I am the fourth grade teacher at Southminster School! Our class is self-contained, meaning I teach all subjects. I am so excited to teach again at Southminster this year! I taught third grade in public school for six years, so I love the fact that I can freely talk about God in a Christian environment and share the message of Jesus Christ with my students.
I consider myself a lifelong learner, so it is highly rewarding as a teacher to help a child develop a love for learning. I believe that in order for authentic learning to occur, students must first be intrinsically motivated. Readers' and Writers' Workshops guide students to take ownership of their own learning. This is going to be an amazing school year! |
