Hello! Thank you for visiting my website. My name is Rachel Patterson and this is my second year teaching 4th grade at Riley Elementary School! Go, Racers!! I love doing hands-on learning and I try to include fun activities in our daily lessons. I feel it is important for students to have the opportunity to explore and create to better understand the learning material. My number one goal is to help every student reach his/her full potential while maintaining an inclusive and positive learning environment.
I am married to Brian and we live in Terre Haute with our four sons. Our sons’ names are: Bryce, Blake, Brady, and Bennett. Bryce is a Junior at Indiana State University. He is a college sprinter and he is majoring in Computer Engineering. Blake is a Freshman at Saint Mary of the Woods College, and a sprinter on their track team. He is majoring in Computer Science. Brady is a Freshman at Clay City High School high and runs track. Our youngest son is Bennett. He is in fifth grade and attends Clay City Elementary School. Bennett likes to play basketball and run like his brothers.
As you can guess, I enjoy watching my boys play sports and cheering them on. I also love party planning, painting, and doing anything that involves being creative!
I am looking forward to another fantastic year in fourth grade at Riley!
