Hello! I student taught at Sand Creek during the 2008-2009 school year in 4th grade. I was fortunate to join the excellent SCE staff as a 4th grade teacher in 2013. I taught 4th grade for eight years before I took a year off to spend more time with my family and young children. Last year, I returned to SCE as a 2nd-grade teacher. Sand Creek is my home and the community is one of a kind. When I am not teaching, I spend time with my beautiful daughters, Shelby and Charlie, and my husband Gary. We enjoy exploring outside, camping, boating, paddle boarding, off-roading, and traveling. This summer we camped in Wyoming and traveled to the Lake of the Ozarks. I look forward to another wonderful school year.
My name is Sophia Michelau and this is my first year at Sand Creek. I've taught K-2 in Minnesota prior to taking a year off to travel around the US in an RV. Teaching has always been a huge passion of mine. I love building relationships with my students and helping them love learning by making it fun and engaging. My background is in Elementary Education, and I recently completed my Master's in Education with an emphasis in Culturally Responsive Teaching. In my free time, I love hiking, reading and exploring everywhere dog friendly! I am excited to call Colorado home and be a part of the Sand Creek family. Thank you for the warm welcome!
