​Hello My Name Is...

Mrs. Christy Schultz

I am so excited to begin this school year. As many of you know, I am new to 
fifth grade this year after 10 years in third grade. I want you to know that this 
is a change I wanted to make. Fifth graders are growing up! 
I loved my own children at this age- they were funny, changing, and becoming 
their own person. I look forward to teaching and learning fifth grade along with 
your child this year.

A little bit about myself...

I live in New Boston with my husband, Chris, and two children.  My husband is 
an athletic director at a high school in Dearborn. My son, Christopher, will be a 
sophomore at Bowling Green State University. This is a whole new level of 
"parenting"! My daughter, Catie, will be in eighth grade this year. 
She is very involved in volleyball and basketball. I enjoy spending time with my 
family, my church and my friends. 

After earning a Political Science degree from EMU, I worked in the sales industry 
for 10 years. I soon realized that my passion was in the training end of sales, 
so I decided to pursue my teaching certification from Concordia University
and a master's degree from Eastern Michigan in Curriculum & Instruction.  
This will be my 12th year of teaching and I have loved every minute of it!

My goal is to teach my students to be lifelong learners. I believe all students 
can and will learn. We will talk a lot about working harder to become smarter.
In order to understand how to challenge my students, I work very hard to 
discover each child's independent learning style and how to cultivate their 
intrinsic motivation to learn.  
 
I look forward to working with both you and your child this year.
