Ms. Quinn’s Bio
Hello Odyssey Community,
I am a third grade teacher here at Odyssey School. I have been working at Odyssey for 13 years. I have spent 7 years in first grade and this will be my 7th year in third grade.
Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I have two children a 17 year old and a 21 year old. I also have a very energetic German Shepherd. In my free time, I enjoy going on adventures and exploring hiking trails. I dream of getting a camper one day and hitting all the National Parks in the U.S. during my summer vacations. I love to read, write and learn.
My goal as a teacher is to help give students the tools to become independent learners, problem solvers, creative thinkers and to foster their internal motivation to become successful in challenges that they take on. I also believe in spending time teaching students on developing their relationships and communication skills. The social/emotional components are just as important as the academics. I work hard to foster ways in which students will learn to work together and problem solve with confidence and independence.
As you probably already know, Odyssey has so many unique features from All School Exploration to CIRCLE words. All kids and adults are valued here and respected for their individual differences. OCS is incredibly special because it's about educating the "whole child".
Please feel free to openly communicate with me as we "embark" together on this journey. My email is kquinn@odysseyschool.org and my phone number is 860-645-1234 ext. 120.
Sincerely,
Kelly Quinn
