Meet Mrs. Schuur
I've been teaching since 1992. My first teaching job was as a 2nd and 3rd grade teacher at a private school in Mishawaka, IN. I loved it, but wanted to teach closer to home. In 1995 I was hired as a 5th grade teacher in Cassopolis. I moved to Kindergarten in 1996, taught 2nd grade for two years before returning to 5th grade for a year and then spent one year teaching 6th grade. For the 2016-17 year, I have been assigned as Art Teacher for K-6 grade art. I'm super excited about this change.
I have a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education from Indiana University and a Master's Degree in Elementary Education from Western Michigan University. I have also taken several continuing education courses in reading, writing, math, early childhood literacy, and teaching art to children.
I've been married to my husband, David, since 1974. We live in Dowagiac and we raised two children, Paula and Dennis. Paula lives in Mishawaka and has three children, Andrew, Addison and Alexander. Dennis passed away in October 2015, but has one daughter, Kaitlyn. Although I love teaching, my favorite job is being a grandmother. Mr. Schuur and I also have two dogs and two cats. I love animals, reading, music and traveling. My husband and I are very active in our church. I feel very blessed to be a teacher, wife, mom and grandmother. God has been very good to me and to my family.
I hope you will find my art class website useful for keeping up with what's happening in our classroom, school and community. Feel free to contact me with anything you would like to see me add to the website to make it more useful to you. I'm looking forward to working with your child again this year. My e-mail address is [email protected]. I would also encourage you to "Like" my Facebook page ( Mrs. Schuur's Art Classes) for more information about what is happening in the art room at our school, including pictures from class and pictures of student work.
