Hello My Name Is...

Mrs. Fallquist

Welcome to 5th grade! 

2020-21 is going to awesome. We are going to learn flexibility, patience, technology and a lot about our own learning styles.  While I have been teaching 5th grade for a number of years it goes without saying that every year is a bit different. Well this one is sure going to be like all the others-different. In an age where information can be obtained at the click of a mouse; I think it is important to learn stamina and perseverance. It is important to ask questions until ideas start to make sense and dive deep into discussions that challenge our thinking. 

I think that the most important lessons that we learn are about ourselves. Therefore, my personal teaching philosophy is based on the inquiry method and Love and Logic. 

So, here is a bit about me. My husband and I live in Conway with my 2 sons, Jackson (6) and Christian (2). We have 2 dogs, 4 chickens and a bunny. Our neighborhood is a bit free range so it feels like we have 8 dogs, a goat, countless chickens, cows, horses the occasional cat, though I rarely see those around all the dogs. 

I was born and raised in Mt. Vernon. Got my bachelors of science at Bastyr University and then did some traveling. Taught English in South Korea for 1.5 years then spent 6 months backpacking through India and Spain. When I returned home, I received my Master's in Education at City University and have been at Pioneer ever since.
