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 with a minor in Psychology.  I hold additional certifications for ESL and GT.      

 I enjoy spending time with my friends and family. especially outdoor activities.  I like going to the movies, trying new restaurants and listening to music.  When I can get some time to myself, I love to read.
