My name is Kathryn Peiffer, and I teach 5th grade. This is my 1st year at Davenport School of the Arts. I have been teaching for 13 years; 9 years in Ohio and this is my 4th year in Florida. I have a Master’s of Arts in Education: Curriculum & Instruction. My husband Jeff and I are originally from Ohio, but we moved to Orlando 3 ½ yrs. ago to get away from the cold and snow. I have 12 yr. old twin daughters Kiersten and Kassady and an 8 1/2 yr. old step daughter Lexie. I love going to the beach to relax and read good books. I like going on vacations and traveling to new places, but mostly I enjoy spending time with my girls, friends, and family.
Math is absolutely my favorite subject to teach. I love that I get to witness the “ah ha” moments in my students lives. I would like my students to work on multiplication facts and reading AR books every night at home, and for the parents to ask them detailed questions about what they have read.
