Intermediate 5-6
Carrie Vickerman
|
My name is Carrie Vickerman and I am an Arizona native who grew up in Lake Havasu City and Prescott. I went to college in Phoenix and earned my Bachelor's in Elementary Education in 2000. I then taught 4th grade for two years in the inner city of Phoenix. After that, I realized I wanted to move back home to Prescott with my husband, Damon. I taught two more years in Prescott Valley at a Montessori charter school, followed by a long tenure at Miller Valley Elementary School, as a 4th and 5th grade teacher for 8 years.
During this time, I earned my Master's in Elementary Education, with a Reading Endorsement. So, to sum it up, I've been teaching for many years! Since the Fall of 2012, I served as one of two Intermediate 3-4 teachers at Skyview School, moving into the 5-6 in 2015. In the summers, I have worked at various camps in town, running adventure camps, doing outdoor education, directing ropes courses, and more. I have a certification from the National Outdoor Leadership School in backpacking and rock climbing. Some of my hobbies include camping, traveling, cooking, and gardening. In my spare time, I love to hang with my family, which consists of my daughter, Sadie, my son, Oliver, my husband, Damon, 2 dogs (Chica and Tippicanoe) and four chickens. |

I’m Karla Cruz and I am the 5th and 6th-grade teacher! I was born in Escondido, California and grew up in Bullhead City, Arizona. Prior to moving to Bullhead City, I lived in Michoacan, Mexico where I attended kindergarten up to 3rd grade. Living in Mexico gave me the advantage to learn to speak, write, and read the Spanish language. Because Spanish is my primary language, moving back to the states was not easy. I did 4 years of intense ELL courses from elementary up to middle school and now, I am proud to say that I am fluent in both English and Spanish.
I have been living in Prescott since August 2012. In February of 2013, I was hired as a work study student in Skyview School's Primary level and was offered a teacher’s aide position for the following school year. Throughout my years at Skyview, I have had the privilege to work with every grade level. In December of 2017, I will graduate with a bachelor's degree in elementary education. I never knew I had a passion for teaching until I began working at Skyview! |

I'm happy to be a part of the Skyview family. I recently came out of retirement to help the students and Carrie Vickerman in the intermediate school grades 5/6. I have fourteen years experience as a teaching paraprofessional in both elementary and middle school including extensive experience in special education.
My husband and I relocated to Prescott in 2005 from California having previously lived on the East Coast. We have two children who are both educators including our son Alex who teaches middle school at Skyview. When I'm not working I enjoy traveling with my husband, hiking and doing arts and crafts. |
