Welcome to my page! I am so happy you found our class website. My name is Justine Sterling and I am very excited to be your child's 1st grade teacher this year. First grade is an exciting, yet rigorous year full of growth. I could not be more thankful to have the opportunity to work with your child during this special time.
About Me:
My dream of being a teacher finally came true when I graduated from the University of California, Riverside with my degree in Liberal Studies and quickly followed by my Master's degree in education. As a first-generation college graduate, I truly value education and the opportunities I have been given because of it. More than just the standards, I look forward to teaching your child to LOVE school, even when it is tricky. Building relationships with my students and their families is the best part of my job and I can not wait to work in partnership with you this year. This is my 9th year teaching here at Perdew and I have taught grades K-2 so I know exactly where your kiddo is coming from and where they need to be by the end of the year!
My husband (Mr. Ozzy, as the kids call him) and I live in Redlands with our two fur babies- Porter & Kona. They are truly the loves of our lives and I love sharing stories and photos of them with my class. In my free time, I love to go to my favorite place- the beach...or my second favorite place- TARGET! I also practice yoga weekly and love to travel!
