Dear Students and Parents,
My Name is Mrs. Bertelson and I would like to welcome you to 4th grade at Ann Arbor STEAM at Northside. I am honored to be your teacher for the 2016-2017 school year and look forward to an incredible year of learning and growing. I look forward to meeting you at our Meet and Greet on August 31st from 4 to 5!
I am entering my 13th year teaching and specifically, my third year here at A2 STEAM at Northside. I’ve taught 4th grade for the majority of my career and it is absolutely my favorite! Prior to teaching in Ann Arbor, I taught at a STEM school in Battle Creek for 10 years. I have two beautiful children and a fantastic husband. My son, Jude, is four and my daughter Luci is 6 and is entering 1st grade here at STEAM.
On Thursday, September 15th there will be a formal parent only informational meeting. At this meeting, I will go over the specifics of the curriculum, daily schedule, homework expectations and other important information. The purpose of this meeting is to ensure a great working relationship between everyone and to make this school year the most successful ever.
I strongly encourage you to visit and bookmark this page because I use the blog as my primary form of communication throughout the year. I check email often but do limit it to before school, planning times, and after school. My own family keeps me pretty busy throughout the evenings, but I will always respond to nightly emails the next morning.
I’m looking forward to meeting everyone very soon! Please feel free to contact me with any questions at : bertelson@aaps.k12.mi.us
Kind Regards,
Heather Bertelson
