My name is Christina Fender and I am currently a second grade teacher at Schiff Elementary.  I have taught all subjects in second grade, third grade and fourth grade.  I enjoy teaching second grade because this is a year full of academic growth for children and I love to find new ways to teach information.  I can't wait to see how my students grow their brains this year! 

I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelor of Science degree in Applied Learning and Development.  I have additional certifications for ESL and GT.      

 I am originally from Texas, although my family moved around some when I was younger.  I enjoy spending time with my family outdoors, going to the movies, trying new restaurants, and reading.
