My name is Mrs.Rathier and this is my eight year teaching First Grade at the Prescott School! I am very excited to start a new school year! I love first grade because the students grow so much in a short amount of time. My teaching philosophy is simple- all students can learn! With that, I love to use a variety of teaching techniques and tools, like Whole-Brain Teaching and Responsive Classroom. The students in my classroom use technology on a daily basis. I am a certified Kid's Yoga instructor and like to bring in a lot of those skills, like meditation, breathing, mindfulness, and stretches.
I have a teaching license in Elementary Education and Special Education .Previously, I taught Second, Third, and Fourth Grade, as well as students with special needs. I received my Bachelor's in Elementary Education and History from Bridgewater State University and my Master's Degree in Special Education, also from Bridgewater State University. I am a Seesaw Ambassador and I love using this platform with students and families to showcase student work and easily communicate.
I am originally from Norton, Massachusetts, but I now live in Rhode Island. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and Bernese Mountain Dog, named Remi. In the warmer months, we love to go to the beach and go camping, hiking, and kayaking. We have a small farm with chickens and veggie gardens. In the colder months, I enjoy snowboarding, snowshoeing, or reading a book!
