Welcome

        Welcome and thank you for taking the time to visit my professional web portfolio. My name is Gillian Kutches and I am currently teaching first grade in Atlanta, Georgia. My school is very unique, in that it is the most culturally diverse elementary school in the area. We have children from 80 different countries that speak over 40 different languages. We have students from all over the world, which is both challenging and incredibly rewarding. Every day I am reminded of children's ability to grow and learn in amazing ways. 

        Throughout this site, you will find a
showcase of my work while completing my Master of Arts degree at Michigan State University. You will see my resume and coursework, in addition to my lifelong goals as an educator. You will also find a link which highlights some moments from my first grade classroom

        There is no question that my life has become more enriched since becoming a teacher four years ago. I am thankful to be able to help shape young minds for the future. Thank you for visiting my site and learning more
about me as a person and educator! Enjoy!
