Mr. Brewer
First, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Mike Brewer, and I’ll be your child’s third-grade teacher for the 2022-23 school year. This is my 29th year teaching. I’m very excited about being in this school district and especially proud to be a member of the best staff in the district. I believe that third grade is a pivotal year for children, and I’m committed to giving your child the very best education possible. I believe children are like caterpillars, and as the year progresses, they will blossom into beautiful butterflies. I have many new and challenging activities planned to make your child’s 3rd-grade experience truly memorable. Our classroom theme this year is “Try Not! Do or Do Not, there is NO TRY!"
In 2012, I married my friend and lifelong companion, Ann. She is an amazing woman and a fantastic teacher. Many of you knew her as Ms. Kuentz. She has two wonderful boys, Austin and Kevin. Kevin is an Air Traffic Controller in Washington DC and is absolutely loving what he does. Austin, his wife Hailey, and daughter Kelsey live in Arizona. Austin works for a company that installs protective wraps on high-end cars.
I began my teaching career in 1993 in the Newport-Mesa Unified School District. It was a wonderful time in my life as I had just begun what has turned out to be an amazing career in teaching and, at the same time, discovered a love for technology. While at Adams Elementary School, I took on the role of Technology Coordinator, helping my staff discover new and exciting ways to infuse technology into the classroom. I was also lucky enough to be asked to start an after-school science program that helped under-privilege students get an introduction to the world of science.
I received my Bachelor's Degree in Liberal Studies from Cal State Fullerton in 1992, my Professional Clear Teaching Credential from Concordia University in 1995, and a Master's Degree in Educational Administration from Cal State San Marcos in 2008.
Mission for the class
My mission is simple. I want every child who comes through my door to gain the knowledge, understanding, and excitement that goes with lifelong learning. I want my children to leave class each and every day thinking about what they learned and then trying to add to their learning at home. A great artist once said, " The artwork is already within the stone. All I do is help it escape into the light." I feel the same way about our children. The knowledge is already within each of them. It's my job to help them discover what they already know.
