Mr. Pedersen's First Grade
Welcome back!
I am a first grade teacher at Petersburg Primary. I have previously worked at Petersburg the last 7 years; the last couple years as a first grade teacher, and before that as both a 4K and 5K classroom assistant. I earned a masters degree in Early Childhood Education from Winthrop University. Previously I earned a Bachelor's Degree from Western Washington University in Urban Planning and Environmental Policy. I love working with young children, and have also done coaching baseball and football for elementary age children.
My primary goal for each child is to guide them to grow academically, keeping them safe in a warm and friendly classroom atmosphere.
