Meet your Teacher! Hi! My name is Kara Quinn. I teach grade 1 at Edmunds Elementary School in Burlington, VT. Prior to teaching Grade 1, I also taught Grades 3,4 and K. I have been teaching in Burlington since 2004.
In 1997, I graduated with a biology degree from Saint Michael's College in Winooski, VT. after graduating, I drove cross country for 3 months and moved out west to Portland, Oregon where I lived for 1.5 years. During this soul-searching time, I did Americorps and learned how to "throw" a mean pizza. in 1999, I moved back to Burlington and did a variety of jobs in farming and education. In 2003, I went back to St. Mike's to get my Elementary Ed teaching license. I later went on to get my masters with a concentration in ELL.
Since 2001, I have lived in Vergennes with my husband Chris. We have two children, Silas, 12, and Marley May, 9 and a sweet lab mix named Oakley. We are very busy working and playing with our kids and friends. As a family we like to swim, paddle board, ski, rock climb, hike and play outdoors. I am also an avid yogi and I love to cook. Thanks for checking out my site!
