Cardinal CSD First Grade Teacher, Ms. Arnold

posted September 21, 2022

Eleanor Arnold is joining the Cardinal team to teach first grade. We are so excited to have her teach our students. We asked her some questions so you could get to know her a bit as the school year begins. 

Why did you want to teach at Cardinal?

I had the opportunity to do my student teaching at Cardinal. I was impressed with the leadership, cohesiveness of the staff and the collaboration among the teaching teams.

How long have you been teaching?
This is year five.

What do you like about teaching 1st graders?

I love getting to watch all of the student growth that happens during the year!

What is your favorite part of being a teacher?

The thing I like most about teaching is my students. I love interacting and building relationships with them, I love learning from them, I love helping them understand the content and exploring new concepts, and I love when they see the connection between what they are learning and their lives.

What is your ultimate goal as a teacher?

To make a positive difference in the lives of students.

What do you hope students take away from your class this year?

I want to inspire a love for learning!

Fun Facts/Hobbies:

I love spending time with my four children. My hobbies include camping, outdoor activities, cooking, traveling, reading, gardening and walking my two dogs. This is my 19th year working in the education field!

My real endorsement of Cardinal Schools and its faculty and staff can be seen each morning when I hand them the one irreplaceable and most valuable thing in my life: my kids. No letter I write could be a greater endorsement than that simple act. I give them my kids, and I do it with a huge smile on my face because I trust them to do what they are most outstanding at: building our future.
