All About Mrs. Schrein
Mrs. Schrein and daugher, Rachel!
Welcome friends! I am Mrs. Schrein. I have been teaching at Hamlin for 27 years! Wowee! I have taught preschool, first, third, fourth and fifth grades. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education and Master's Degree in Early Childhood Education both from Oakland University, Go Grizzlies! I've actually worked with kids for 40 years! I was a competitive swimmer when I was young and I went on to teach swim lessons and coach young swimmers. At one time, I had the best eight and under swimmers in the state.
Third grade is my favorite grade to teach. I just love eight and nine year olds! Why? Well, they are hilarious and they have tons of energy. I like to call them Tiggers! They are smart and can do a lot of neat things at school. They are affectionate and kind. They look at the world with wonder and love figuring things out. They absolutely love to share and, therefore, find it difficult to ever stop talking! They tell the best stories. I just think they are the best age of all. I love to teach and can't imagine anything better than listening to kids giggle and watching them learn!
I also love being a mom! My daughter, Rachel, is the love of my life! She lives in Charleston, South Carolina. That is tooo far away! I'm also a grandma (Mimi) to Ayden, age 4! He is the love of my life as well!
In my spare time, I love to ride my horses, play catch with and walk my dogs, read, read, read, spend time outdoors, spend time with my family & friends, and go to the race track! Anyone who knows me, knows that I LOVE animals! I have a pet page where you can meet them!
