This week we caught up with 2nd grade teacher Kelly Mosteller, and she happily answered a few questions for our teacher spotlight. Here is what she shared with us!
1. Tell us about your family .
I have a wonderful husband, Jim, of almost 19 years who I can thank Mrs. Fletcher and Meadowbrook for bringing us together over 20 years ago. My son Eric is 14 years old and Kayla is 12. Eric is a Meadowbrook alum and Kayla will be graduating this coming June. I have truly been blessed to have shared so many special memories with them throughout their years at Meadowbrook. We also have two border collie dogs, Sparky and Kira.
2. What is one item on your bucket list?
Travel to Italy and Switzerland one day
3. What book are you currently reading?
Loving Frank by Nancy Horan
4. Who is your mentor? Why?
My mentor dates back to my last year of college. During my student teaching experience I had an amazing cooperating teacher who taught me so many valuable lessons that I still use in my classroom today.
5. What would your superpower be?
My superpower would be to travel at the speed of light. If I had this superpower I could accomplish the things that need to be done at a faster pace and then be able to spend more time with my family and friends. It would also allow me to travel all over the world to see the many places I would love to experience, especially the two places on my bucket list.
6. What is your favorite thing about Meadowbrook?
Wow, this is a difficult question! After being at Meadowbrook for over 22 years, there are so many favorite things. One of them is that I love watching the children develop into leaders and confident students as they progress through the years. Meadowbrook gives the children so many opportunities to speak in front of others, through sharing projects in their classrooms to leading a school-wide assembly. It is one of those things that can only be built through experience.
