This week's teacher spotlight is Allie Brinkerhoff.  Miss Brinkerhoff is the OEK Kindergarten teacher at Goshen, and this is her first year teaching.  She says that her favorite thing about teaching so far is seeing the look in her students' eyes when something "clicks" and they understand.  

Here are some interesting facts about Miss Brinkerhoff:

Kimball Arts Center from Park City came and visited our 5th and 6th graders and taught them about hydrophobic art (art that doesn't show up until it's wet) and then did a fun art project with them.  Thank you to Mrs. Valerio and the Kimball Arts Center for putting this together for our students!  They really had a lot of fun.

Because we have so many new faculty members this year, we are going to spotlight one faculty member each week.  This week's teacher is Brittiany Thornton.  She is our 1/2 Day Kindergarten Teacher, and this is her first year teaching.  Before she became a teacher here, she did a lot of subbing for the school district.  She also did her student teaching at Santaquin Elementary.  She says that her favorite thing about working at Goshen Elementary is seeing the kids everyday.  

Here are a few interesting facts about Ms. Thornton:
