Biography:

I have been at Fireside since 2004. I love the Fireside community and it has been a pleasure of mine to watch so many children learn and grow over the years. I taught kindergarten, 4th, and 5th grades for much of my career before moving to 2nd grade.


Before teaching at Fireside, I was a bilingual 2nd grade teacher and I also taught at a private Jewish school for two years. I have a MA from UCD in Educational Psychology and a BA in Anthropology.


I am a Colorado native and love living on the front range. I enjoy hiking, biking, paddle boarding, and seeing live music. I also like to read, travel and spend time with my two young children and husband.

Hi! I'm Erin Reivich and I am a 2nd grade teacher here at Fireside Elementary. I've been here at Fireside since 2005, but have been teaching since 1997. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Social Work, and then earned my Elementary Teaching Certificate at Penn State University. In 2004 I completed my Master's Degree in Reading and Literacy. When I am not at Fireside, I enjoy hanging out with my daughter, hiking, biking, snowboarding, cooking and reading!

Biography:

"Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle."

I couldn't be more thrilled to be a part of the Fireside staff! I am from the state of Washington where my goal in life was to follow in my mother's footsteps and become a professional runner. I left Washington as the fastest miler and half miler in the state and went on to compete nationally. I came to the University of Colorado on a running scholarship, but injuries ended my college running career. It really was a blessing because I found my true love in life, which is teaching. I graduated from CU with a B.A. in Kinesiology, Psychology, and Elementary Education and a M.A. in Reading and Literacy with an endorsement in Literacy K-12. I am also a Nationally Board Certified Teacher. I started teaching in 2004 at Flatirons Elementary where I have taught both first and second grade.

I am an avid runner and love to hike, read, camp, and spend time with my family. I have two spirited daughters (ages 3 and 4) that are truly miracles and I am grateful for every moment I have with them.

I am looking forward to an exciting new year school year as I am determined to learn, teach, grow, and achieve with my Fireside family.
