Hello! My name is Kristi Christensen and I am thrilled to be your child’s kindergarten teacher this year! I have a lot of exciting activities planned for your child’s first year in kindergarten. I believe that with us working together, we can make this a very successful year. This is my 12^th year of teaching and 7^th year in kindergarten. I have previously taught grades first, second, and fourth in Alvin and Cy-Fair ISD. I graduated from Sam Houston State University with my Bachelors in Education and double minor in Early Childhood and English. Later, in 2010 I received my Masters in School Administration from Sam Houston State University. I am certified to teach Early Childhood through 8^th grade with my certifications in Principal, ESL, Early Childhood, TESOL and Gifted and Talented. Although this is my first year teaching kindergarten at Silvercrest, I have been a substitute for the last five years in Pearland ISD. Silvercrest is also the elementary school my children attended. I have lived in this community for the last 17 years with my husband, Jason and have three children ages 14, 11, and 9. I consider it a great privilege and responsibility to be your child’s kindergarten teacher this year. I am very excited to start the new school year and look forward to an AMAZING year!
