Carol Rothfusz

Welcome,
I'm Carol Rothfusz and I'm a teacher at Hillcrest Middle School. This year will be my 15th year teaching! I'm a grade 6 Language, Mathematics, Drama and Dance teacher. I am passionate about teaching all students and encouraging life-long learners!
My husband and I have two boys aged 12 and 9. In my spare time, I like to go to the gym, swim, play soccer and hang out with my family. I also enjoy reading and read 4 books this summer! We have one cat named Smudgie and a puggle named Jelly!
Some of my favourites are:
Foods - Pizza and fajitas
Drink - Hot chocolate
TV Show - Westworld, Brooklyn 99
Book - The Dustlands Series
Season - Summer
Sport - Soccer
Movie - The Matrix
I am looking forward to a fantastic school year!

Sincerely,

My Philosophy

My philosopy of being an educator is to deliver a program where the environment is safe and students' voices are heard. I believe in working collaboratively with students and parents to reach our success goals together. My programs will meet the needs of individual students and I will differentiate for the many types of learners within the classroom.
In Math, my goal is to engage every student and make the learning relevant. I want students to gain an appreciation for Mathematics and have math become a favourite subject of theirs.
