About+Mrs.+King

My name is Brandi King. I live with my husband Jim, who is in the U.S. Air force Reserve (Senior First Sgt.) and works at American Express. I have 3 children. My oldest is Connor and he is in entering 4th grade at Las Brisas. My second child is Carter. He is entering 1st Grade at Las Brisas. My daughter Madison is 4 and entering preschool. Having two young boys myself I understand how little boys work (for the most part). My children are very important to me and I hold them to the highest of standards.

I have been married for over 13 years and this is my 12th year of teaching. I have taught other grades in the Washington School district but this is my 10th year at Las Brisas and my 9th year in 2nd grade. It is by far my favorite to teach.

I have lived in Arizona most of my life. I was born in Phoenix and when I was about 2 I moved to Seattle and quickly came back to the sunshine. I consider myself a native to the valley.

I graduated from Arizona State University! **//Go Sun devils//**! My loves in life are my family, teaching, and creating things. I have a very big craft room and I love to decorate using my own skills and whatever I can find laying around.

When I am not teaching I love spending time with my family. We love to swim, play games, play at the park, and watch a good movie. Whatever we do is fun as long as we are together!

This past summer the kids and I spent our days swimming, bowling, going to the movies, playing with friends, and visiting the Children's Museum! We also took a wonderful family vacation to Disneyland.

I have a wonderful job because I get to spend time doing the two things in life I love the most. Being a mom (in the summer) and being an educator. Children are so exciting and fun to be around. They truly make each day a pleasure to come to work. Each new day is different, new, and exciting. You never know what is going to happen.

I am here to work with you and your child to ensure success. I understand the importance of a safe, healthy, exciting, and energetic environment. That is what I provide for all my students. We learn and grow together yet have an amazing time doing so. Thank you in advance for allowing me to be apart of your child's educational journey. If you ever have a question about why we are doing something and how it relates to the Arizona State Common Core Standards please ask.

Thank you for sharing your child with me for this wonderful 2012-2013 school year.

Mrs. King
