Welcome to 6th grade. We are thrilled to be working with your student this year. Mrs. Petersen: I was born and raised in Salt Lake City and received my Bachelor's degree from Utah State University and my Master's degree from the University of La Verne. I taught in the Rio Linda District (now Twin Rivers) for 22 years. When my family relocated to the beautiful foothills several years ago, I was thrilled to become part of the Bowman family. This will be my ninth year with the Ackerman District and my third year in 6th grade! My husband and I have three fabulous children and six adorable grandchildren. I love hiking, reading, music, spending time with my family - and of course teaching children. I am a life-long learner and hope to instill this enthusiasm in my students. email: [email protected] phone: 885-1974 ext. 220
Mr. Harrison: I am a California native who truly loves everything this state has to offer. I graduated from Chico State with a teaching credential in 2005. I taught 4th grade and 6th grade in the Redwood City school district for 10 years. Kristina, (my better half) and I always knew we would eventually move back to the Gold Country for all of the wonders it has to offer. When Bowman Charter offered a 3rd grade position she and I were excited for the opportunity to relocate to an amazing area and teach for the best school around. I pride myself on being a life long learner, always seeking out new learning opportunities. Whitewater, mountain biking, climbing, and dirt biking fill my free time. I'm a be believer of practical skills and self guided exploration. I hope to instill these skills into the many different students I encounter. email: [email protected] phone: 885-1974 ext. 221
