Dear Fifth Grade Families,
As the second half of the school year gets underway, I would like to start off by introducing myself. My name is Krista Cahill and I will be interning for Mr. Catania in your son/daughter’s fifth grade classroom. I am from Danvers, Massachusetts where I grew up with my parents and younger brother Stephen who is a freshman at Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston. I made the decision to attend The University of Tampa first, in all honesty, because I knew I couldn’t turn down the beautiful weather. When I discovered that their Education program is one of the best in the state, my decision was quickly solidified. On campus, I am involved in the Kappa Delta Pi, which is an international honors society for education, and am a member of Delta Gamma. Outside of the classroom, I love to spend time with close friends and family, but I also absolutely love taking Spinning/indoor cycling classes or doing something active. Sometime in the future, I hope to become a certified Spin instructor and share my enthusiasm for cycling with others. I can’t wait to hear about what types of hobbies or activities your children enjoy as well as understanding how they learn best.

I have learned so many valuable teaching techniques throughout my time in UT’s program and have enjoyed spending time in various classrooms in Hillsborough County. After graduation, I plan to stay in Tampa and hope to teach at an elementary school in the area. This internship is the last step I will take before receiving my Bachelor’s Degree in elementary education from UT and I am extremely lucky to be spending it here at Gorrie Elementary. I will be present in the classroom from mid-January through the beginning of May. I am very much looking forward to getting to know you and your child in the upcoming weeks. We will have many wonderful experiences and opportunities to learn and grow together in the days ahead.
I look forward to meeting you!
I look forward to meeting you!
Sincerely,
Ms. Cahill
