Katri Kath
Hello! My name is Katri Kath, and I am excited to be part of the community as a first-grade teacher at Horace Mann again this year. I have been teaching since 2019 and love working with young learners as they embark on this important stage of their educational journey. I am currently working on my masters degree in literacy and am excited to complete that soon! My classroom is a space where students feel safe, supported, and encouraged to explore their curiosity. I am passionate about building strong foundations in reading, writing, and math, while fostering creativity and critical thinking through hands-on activities and collaborative learning.
Outside of the classroom, I enjoy reading, walking with my dog Ozzy, and spending time with family and friends. I strive to connect with each child and their family to create a strong partnership that supports their growth and success. I believe every child has unique talents, and it’s my goal to help them shine. I am looking forward to an amazing year of learning and discovery! Please reach out to me with any questions at my email katri.kath@spps.org.
