My name is Sara Stenke and I am the new first grade teacher here at Abbot Elementary! I graduated from the University of Michigan in May with a degree in Elementary Education and I have been in classrooms ranging from preschool to 5th grade. I am passionate about reading (I am always looking for good suggestions) and traveling. I work to bring both of these passions into my classroom to engage students and create an inclusive and enthusiastic learning environment. When I am not in the classroom you will often find me spending time in nature, I enjoy hiking and experiencing the world around me. This is my first year teaching and I am so excited to be a part of the Abbot family. Looking forward to a great year full of learning, fun, and memories!
