Fantastic Fourth Grade!

Hello! My name is Michelle Berkhimer, and I am excited to be your child’s fourth grade Math, Science, and Social Studies teacher at Baker Elementary! I have also had the wonderful opportunity to teach third and sixth grade throughout my career.

I absolutely love being in the classroom each day and building relationships with my students. Math is my favorite subject! There is nothing more exciting than watching students develop a love for Math, gain confidence in their abilities, and discover that they are capable of accomplishing things they may not have thought possible.

I have been teaching in the Altoona Area School District since 2001. I graduated from Penn State University with a degree in Elementary Education and later earned my Master’s Degree from Saint Francis University.

Thank you for entrusting me with your children each day. It is a privilege to be part of their educational journey, and I am looking forward to an exciting, successful, and memorable school year!

Here’s to a wonderful year of learning, growing, and having fun!
