Mrs. Bates & Mrs. EvansIt's going to be another awesome year at Eastwood Elementary! Mrs. Bates and Mrs. Evans are excited to team together this year in 3rd grade. Mrs. Evans will teach Mondays and Tuesdays and Mrs. Bates will teach Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. This routine will stay consistent until Mrs. Bates goes out on maternity leave somewhere near Thanksgiving. At that time Mrs. Evans will take over full time until Mrs. Bates returns to teach Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays in the spring.
Our favorite thing about teaching is celebrating the progress students make when they power through a challenge and push their limits. We can't wait to see what this year holds for each of us and to be the biggest encouragers in the room! |
Mr. NakanoI am thrilled to be your third grade teacher and fellow explorer here at Eastwood. A product of IUSD schools since kindergarten, I enjoy still being a student, learning from all my colleagues across the district.
When I'm not exploring at Eastwood, I'm outside with my softball team, inside with my basketball team, or leisurely out bowling or golfing. I look forward to working with a bunch of enthusiastic learners! |

I am so incredibly excited to be your child’s third grade teacher at Eastwood! As an educator, I love to incorporate what your student brings to the table. I believe that their interests and inputs are what gets them excited about learning. When I’m not teaching, I love to be outside running, hiking, or camping. I also enjoy cooking and baking for others and spending time with the people I love.
My joy in teaching comes from not just seeing students reach their goals, but from experiencing the wonderful people they become by achieving those goals. My hope for this year is that it will be one of great growth and one that inspires life-long learning! |
