Ms. Shiers' 5th Grade Class
Welcome to Ms. Shiers' Homepage at Painted Sky Elementary School.

Ms. Shiers
This is my ninth year teaching in the Amphitheater District and my third here at Painted Sky. I have taught first, fourth, fourth-fifth multiage, and fifth grade. Three years ago I received my National Board Certification, a long and difficult process, but one that was rewarding. I have been living in Tucson since 1995 but I was born and raised in California. I love teaching and being at Painted Sky Elementary School.

I have many interests including bike riding, scrapbooking, reading, and much, much more. I am even a high school and college basketball referee in my spare time. I recently bought a house, so most of my time is consumed by working on all the jobs that need to be done to fix up the house! I traveled to Japan in October as part of the Fulbright Memorial Fund Teacher Program. It was so amazing to learn about the educational system and culture of Japan.

I am excited to be in the second year of looping with the students, it is wonderful be with the fun students and families that are represented in our classroom. I look forward to preparing the students for their middle school experience.
