Hello everyone! My name is Annie Knepper and I am excited to be part of Sierra Verde’s first grade team! I am originally from rural Iowa and grew up on a dairy farm. I met my husband, Mike, at Loras College in Dubuque, IA, and we have been together ever since. We have a one year old son who keeps me on my toes! We love playing outside, reading, and experiencing new things as a family.
I have my BA in Elementary Education and both my Reading and Early Childhood Endorsements. I have taught first grade, kindergarten, and preschool, and third grade. I love teaching first grade where I get to watch and guide young people as they flourish as readers, writers, mathematicians, and critical thinkers. As a teacher, I believe it is my privilege to help students learn to love learning through exploration and asking questions. I’m looking forward helping my Sierra Verde students become life-long learners!
Please contact me at any time with questions. I believe parents and family members are the most important teachers in a child's life and I am excited to partner with you this year.
