Mrs. Elise Hakes
Hello, this will be my 4th year teaching kindergarten, and I truly love what I do!
My husband and I have five kids who attend schools in the Johnson cluster. Some of my children have dyslexia, and their creative, resilient minds helped inspire my journey into teaching. Supporting them sparked my passion for helping all students grow in confidence and find joy in learning.
I believe in creating a fun, engaging space where every student feels safe, valued, and confident. In our classroom, we work hard, learn from one another, and grow together—not just as students, but as people. Each day, I teach and love with my whole heart. I cherish a shared learning space where we support one another like a class family. This year, we will discover the goodness within ourselves and celebrate what each of us brings to our classroom community.
