Katie Young
Hello Kendallvue! My name is Katie (Catherine) Young and I am excited to be teaching second grade at Kendallvue this year! This will be my 2nd year teaching, and my 2nd year here at Kendallvue. I am from Fairbanks Alaska and graduated from the University of Wyoming. I did my student teaching in Riverton Wyoming at a Kindergarten center. After graduation I worked in a middle school in Laramie Wyoming for two years with students with severe cognitive disabilities. My husband and I moved to Colorado in the summer of 2022 so he could finish his PHD and post-doc at Colorado School of Mines. We both love it here and hope this can be our forever home!
When I am not at school I love hiking, camping, reading, walking dogs, spending time with my family, and traveling. I also love playing any sports, but basketball, soccer, and football are my favorites!
I strongly believe that every student is capable of amazing things. It is my passion to help all my students find how they can be successful and create a strong foundation for a love of learning! Growing up I had many teachers who were not passionate about their job, which made school miserable for me. My goal is to give students a teacher who is passionate about what they do, show students that learning can be fun, and that everyone can be successful if given the right tools. I love seeing all the wheels turn while they are trying to figure out something new, and the excitement when things start to click and they understand.
I am so excited for this year and thankful to be teaching at Kendallvue!
