As a third student at Greenwood Charter School our time is spent exploring topics related to animal adaptations, the water cycle, and education around the world. Our teachers specialize which gives students access to instruction from experts in the fields of ELA/reading and math/science. Students read both informational text and literature pieces on a variety of topics and use these pieces as models to guide our writing. We will also sharpen our skills in multiplication, division, and telling time.

I have been teaching language arts here at Greenwood for 8 years. I have taught 3rd, 4th and 5th grades in some way, I am excited to have settled in 3rd grade! This year I am super excited to teach 3rd grade reading and help Kindergarteners - 3rd graders as the Reading Inverterventionist. I have a bachelor’s degree in elementary education from Utah State University and a master’s degree in curriculum and instruction from Western Governors University.
I love to spend time with my family and friends. I love to be with my family, and you can usually find us laughing around a table while playing games. The only thing that tops that is spoiling my 3 nieces and nephew. I also love to be outside whether on a walk or camping in the mountains.
My biggest passion is reading, I love to get lost in a great book. Picking a favorite book is too hard when there are so many great ones, but I pick a favorite author every month or so. I am excited to help students develop that passion this year as we work on building more confidence with reading and comprehending what is read.
Keep your face always towards the sunshine, and shadows will fall behind you.

Jenny Rabe is a new 3rd grade teacher at Greenwood, but she's not new to the world of education. She taught 4th and 5th grade at Venture Academy for nine years and is excited to continue her teaching at Greenwood. When she is not busy planning lessons, she is chasing her three rambunctious kids, writing a new book, or watching Korean dramas.
