Currently, her class is immersed in the Percy Jackson series, sparking excitement for books and lifelong learning. Beyond academics, Mrs. Matthias emphasizes life skills. She founded an after-school Cooking Club, teaching students to measure ingredients, read recipes, practice table etiquette, and prepare meals like cookies from scratch and fettuccine alfredo. In class, students manage β€œjobs,” earn β€œsalaries,” and pay β€œrent,” gaining real-world skills in a fun, structured way. Her classroom is a family built on trust, respect, and teamwork. Activities like β€œCamping Day” reward good behavior with creative projects like writing spooky stories and making s’mores, fostering a strong sense of community. Mrs. Matthias credits her high school teacher, Mrs. Henderson, for inspiring her love of reading and education. Today, she empowers her students to dream big and achieve their potential. Principal Jimenez shares, β€œMrs. Matthias is exceptional.

🌟 Spotlight on Ms. Crawford: A Carmichael Gem 🌟 Ms. Crawford, a dedicated Title I paraprofessional at Carmichael Elementary, is a true testament to the power of giving back to one’s community. Born and raised in Sierra Vista, she has come full circleβ€”teaching at the very school she attended as a child. A proud 2009 graduate, Ms. Crawford holds a bachelor's degree in early childhood education and is exploring the possibility of pursuing her master’s in reading. Her passion for education and her love for small-group instruction make her an invaluable asset to the Carmichael team. Joining the school in 2022, Ms. Crawford initially supported students in third grades. Now, as a Title I paraprofessional, she works closely with Mrs. Owsley, the Title I teacher, to serve nearly 20 students daily. Together, they provide critical literacy support for students with reading deficits through Title I funding. In her small-group sessions, Ms. Crawford's individualized attention fosters growth, confidence, and a love for learning in her students. Beyond her academic contributions, Ms. Crawford’s care for students extends beyond the classroomβ€”she ensures their safety by helping them cross the street before and after school. Her patience, kindness, and unwavering dependability shine in every interaction, whether with students, colleagues, or parents. When she’s not enriching young minds, Ms. Crawford treasures time spent with her family. She loves shopping, exploring the mall, and playing with her two adorable beagles, who are one and two years old.
