I would like to take some time to introduce two new teachers to our site!! Daniel Kimble will be teaching P.E. and Cecily Williams will be teaching 2nd/3rd grade. Here is a little about each of them:
I love watching cooking shows, cooking, and eating, so I'm very excited about the garden and the potential of cooking with the students! I look forward to meeting you all and working with you. Go Dragons!

Hello Suisun Valley Elementary
Staff! My name Daniel Kimble, and I will be teaching our students Physical
Education this coming year. I recently graduated at Sacramento State
University, with a major in Liberal Studies and a minor in Kinesiology. This
past May, I received my Single Subject Teaching Credential in Physical
Education (at Sacramento State). My
whole life, I wanted to follow in my mother’s footsteps and be an Elementary
school teacher. The passion I have for sports, fitness, and health lead me to
focus solely on Physical Education, and I could not be happier with that
choice. My favorite sports include rugby, basketball, football, swimming,
triathlons and weightlifting. Participating in these sports have brought me
friendships, taught me life lessons, and even taken me around the world. One of
my favorite memories is living in New Zealand for a year, playing rugby and
experiencing a new culture firsthand.
Within
the program that I have designed, our students will be encouraged to have fun
and enjoy PE. They will be introduced to a variety of movement skills and
sports which will help them develop competence and confidence participating in
physical activity. My goal is for our students to learn to love these
activities, and develop a passion for movement and staying healthy for the rest
of their lives. I completely understand that our students will come into my
classroom with a variety of fitness and skill levels. My lessons will
accommodate every student’s individual needs and interests, challenging those
who need to be pushed a bit further and providing opportunities for every
student to experience success in a comfortable environment. A successful
student in my classroom is one who tries their hardest and shows a positive
attitude while doing so; winning and competition are not something that I will
stress on.
I
am extremely excited to meet everybody, and look forward to making this year
the best it can be. Please, feel free to come introduce yourself to me! I am
eager to collaborate with other teachers, and am open to any ideas or
suggestions to make our students time in PE productive, fun and most of all, a
lifelong learning opportunity.
