Meet Heather Bremen!
Heather Bremen is a second-grade teacher at Skyline North Elementary School in Barstow, CA. She has been teaching for 20 years with 19 of them being at Skyline. Throughout her years teaching, she has been able to help her students have amazing experiences and learn about the environment in fun and exciting ways. When not teaching, she enjoys travel, reading, hiking and running. She loves animals as well. Like many, she is beyond excited to be getting back in the classroom again and seeing here student’s every day.
While the 2020-2021 school year held many challenges for both teachers and students, Heather and the team she works with were determined to collaborate to make distance learning more interactive and hands-on. She taught her student’s about biomes which they researched and wrote about a biome then, when they were able to return to the classroom and use virtual reality to visit that habitat. Utilizing scientific tools, materials and hands-on experiences, Heather has helped many students learn to care for the earth and become lifelong environmental stewards.
