Welcome to Mrs. DuPree's 4th Grade Class!
I am so excited for my 7th year as a 4th-grade teacher at East! I am very proud to be an Eagle and love seeing all that can be accomplished when East school students set their minds to something!I graduated from JCHS in 2004, earned my bachelor's in psychology from Drury University in 2008, and became a teacher through Columbia College in 2015. I am always learning, from professional development training all over the country and from every student I work with!My husband Joaquin and I live across the river with our two children. Our daughter Lenora just turned 7 and is a little firecracker. Our son Charles is 11 and is either a video game fanatic, a future professional baseball player, or a rugged outdoorsman, depending on when you ask him. Both of my children will be attending East School this year as a 2nd grader and 5th grader. Both my kids love hearing 4th grade stories and my school kids definitely hear a lot about my family's adventures!When I'm not at school, I enjoy cooking, gardening, and taking care of our cats, dog, chickens, and bees! I love outdoor activities like camping, fishing, and going on float trips.I tell my students on their first day that I am quirky and teach things differently than they may be used to. If your child comes home and tells you that I was shooting rubberbands across the classroom or rolling kids down the hallway on scooter boards, it is probably true- for the purpose of teaching different forms of energy and motion in science! I find that the most memorable learning experiences I have had in my life come from events or lessons that were a little bizarre. I strive daily to create unique and memorable learning experiences for my students as well!
