Hello! My name is Chrissy Shandrew. I've been teaching for 13 years. I have taught Kindergarten and 3rd grade. I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Liberal Arts from Fresno Pacific, and a California Teaching Credential from Chapman. I have a CLAD certificate, and a STEM certificate. My husband and I have a son, Kyle-35,  and three daughters; Ally-30, Emily-27, and Madelyn-24. When I am not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my husband and family. We like to watch our grandkids play youth sports, and gather for lots of family parties.  We enjoy fishing, camping in the mountains and taking trips to the beach. I love holidays when we are all together, and I get the chance to visit family and play with my grandkids. As an educator, my philosophy is to teach my kindergartners to develop a sense of responsibility. I also want them to love school and become a lifelong learner. I always look forward to another year of getting to know my students and connecting with them and their families. It excites me to watch them grow, learn, and have fun. My students are all very special to me, and a big part of why I love coming to work each day. I love teaching Kindergarten and I feel very blessed!!
