About
Hello!
My name is Amanda Dohmen and I am a 5th grade teacher in the Salt Lake City area.
Why teaching: I love teaching because of the joy and passion student have in their own learning. Everyday is all about being positive and sharing that positivity with those around us. Giving students a safe place to discover, grow, and ask questions are vital to my classroom environment. Truth be told - flexible seating gives students the power to do all of that. Flexible seating is a great way to create a climate of comfort and belonging. It's not because 'it looks cool" but rather it allows students the learning space THEY feel comfortable. When the classroom is no longer 'teacher" centered if allows students the space to feel at peace. When that happens learning can begin.
About me: I am originally from the good state of Minnesota but found my love of the mountains, the desert, and my husband in Utah. Camping, rock climbing, hiking, skiing, hammock-ing, traveling, cooking, reading, and chocolate eating are my jam. I can't imagine life without being outside, exploring nature. I love to bring that into my classroom environment and just possibly spark an interest to turn off fortnite and maybe go create an actual fort....outside. ??☀️
