Linda Pfeiffer - 3rd Grade

Linda Pfeiffer is excited to be teaching 3rd grade at St. Peter’s!  She has 2 daughters…Sydney who is a 1st grade teacher at Immanuel, Macomb, and Erin who works at Henry Ford Hospital-Warren in cardiac rehab. They love spending time with family, watching reality TV, and working on their house.  

Her teaching philosophy is quite simple.  “I believe that your child is a precious gift from God.  I believe our learning should be centered around our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  I believe that learning should be enjoyable, fun, AND meaningful.”  3rd grade is an amazing transition year! Students are becoming more independent in all their studies, but they are still working on mastering skills from 2nd grade.
They will continue to work on reading (bring on the chapter books!) and all things language (English,phonics, spelling, handwriting.) They will be multiplying in math, learning about Michigan in social studies, and going hands on in science.  Most importantly, they will be learning about our loving God and all that He has created and given us…especially His Son, Jesus!  

This is her 25th year of teaching, and she still loves it!

Mrs. Schilling wants to instill in her students a love for learning!
