Hello tortoises! My name is Emily Brown, and I am so excited for the 2023-2024 school year! This is my first year teaching 5th grade STEM. I earned my bachelor's in Education with a minor in Professional Education and an endorsement in Special Education from Austin Peay State University. I am getting married this October to my high school sweetheart and although we do not have any children yet, we do have one cat, and her name is Clover! I previously worked in 2nd grade for 3 years here at Glenellen through the Teacher Residency Pathways. I also attended school here, K-5, so I am beyond thrilled to be teaching here now too. I believe in creating a welcoming learning environment, and working hard to put my students first, always. If you ever have any questions, please feel free to email me. I look forward to welcoming all my new fifth graders and the amazing school year ahead! Go tortoises!
