    Personal/Professional Information ~
     My name is Karyn Hutchinson.
    I live on Sugar Island with my husband Tim and my children. I have been teaching for Sault Schools since 2004. I have been teaching 5th grade (my personal favorite) for 13 years. This will be my seventh year focusing on teaching social studies. I have co-written an online social studies book with other 5th grade teachers from around the state. (MI Open Book). I have written items for the state M-STEP social studies assessment in Lansing. These experiences have provided me with extensive training and opportunities to provide my students with a deeper knowledge of reading, writing, and social studies concepts. 

     
     My Education Philosophy ~
    I believe that every student is a unique individual with diverse strengths and weaknesses. I believe in creating a classroom environment where students embrace these differences and learn from each other.   I believe, wherever possible, in tailoring my teaching lessons to fit students' individual needs.
