Kristina Verdile’s Third Grade

Hello, I am Ms. Verdile. I enjoy swimming and hiking in the forest and working in the garden with my daughter, our 4 dogs, and our 2 goats. I am super excited to be teaching 3rd grade this year! I hold a Bachelor’s Degree from California State East Bay in U.S. History and American Indian Studies as well as a Social Science Teaching Credential from Mills College. As a teacher in the Bay Area for 8 years, I incorporated mindfulness, art, music, physical movement, and field trips to enhance my students’ learning experience. For the past 3 years, I taught Music Movement and Singing for Tk-3rd grade students in Penn Valley School District.
