Welcome to the Fifth Grade 2013-2014 school year!.
My name is Karen Hunt and I have the pleasure to be your child's Math and Science teacher this year. Fifth grade is an incredible adventure filled with exciting learning and experiences. Since I will be spending 9 months with your child, I would like to share a little information about me. I grew up in Pasadena, Texas and graduated from Sam Rayburn High School in 1971. I graduated from Southwest Texas State University in 1975 with a degree in English and Sociology and taught high school English for one year. I had the opportunity to own my own business (Plant Stalkers-a plant leasing business). I was very successful but something was missing. So, I went back to school at the University of Texas and received my certification to teach elementary school. It was the best decision I have ever made. I began teaching at Palm 22 years ago and have been here ever since. I have taught 4th grade for 19 years and this will be my 3rd year to teach 5th grade This is my home and I love being apart of this community.
I have lived in Austin for 35 years and have enjoyed every minute of it. My nephews, Daryl and Brandon, live with me as well as the love of my life, Jack my 13 year Whippet dog who I rescued from Palm playground.
My goal is to create a positive, safe, learning environment so all students will become lifelong independent learners and productive critical thinkers. It takes all of us to make sure every student feels successful. I am looking forward to working with you and your child this year. Use the contact information below to get in touch with me if you have any questions or concerns.
