4th Grade
Meet our Fourth Grade Teachers
Dree Kinder
I am so excited to join the 4th grade team at Fireside! I am from the Chicago area and am finally making the move that I’ve been wanting to make for years! After graduating from Arizona State, I taught 4th grade English and worked for a student travel company in Thailand for a year! I taught 3rd grade in the Chicago suburbs for the past 3 years.
In my free time I love to travel, plan trips, hike, and spend time with my family and friends. I’m looking forward to exploring the outdoor activities Colorado has to offer, and to improve my skiing skills this winter (Illinois ski hills aren’t quite the same)! I can’t wait to meet everyone at Fireside!

Originally from Nebraska, I took time to travel the world before ending up in Boulder, Colorado! I was in the advertising world in Portland, Oregon prior to going back to school. At that time, I moved to Colorado to earn my masters in Curriculum and Instruction at the University of Denver.
Since then, I have taught third through fifth grade in Boulder Valley. In my current fourth grade classroom, I strive to foster enthusiasm for learning about the world with an increased sense of self and others. Students are supported in turning strengths and interests into stepping stones for fostering personal, social, and academic growth. I nurture a safe community where learning occurs through connections with others, hands-on experiences, creativity, and social-emotional well being. When not in the classroom, you will likely find me doing yoga, going on worldly adventures, reading, or spending time with my family and friends.

Hello! I have been teaching Kindergarten, 1st Grade, and Special Education overseas in Vietnam and Cambodia for the last five years. I attended the University of Colorado Denver for my bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and Human Development then went to Colorado State University Global for my masters in teaching and learning as well as principal licensure. I believe that learning is both social and experiential. Authentic questions and inquiry guide student learning in my classroom. I am thrilled about the opportunity to engage within a new community here at Fireside!
I am a Colorado native who loves to travel so on the weekends and after school, you will find me on a bicycle ride, hiking, trying out new recipes, or exploring somewhere I’ve never been before!
