ABOUT ME

My name is Kym Burdis and I teach third grade at Georgetown Elementary in Hudsonville, Michigan. Twenty-five years ago my family moved to Hudsonville and we have been proud to call it our hometown ever since.
I began working for Hudsonville in 1997 as an instructional aide. Three years later I obtained my first teaching job as a 3rd-grade teacher at South Elementary. I taught third grade for six years before moving to Georgetown in 2006 to teach the fifth grade. I am beyond excited to return to third grade!
I have been incredibly fortunate to work in a school system that values its students, staff, and community. Georgetown has such a warm and supportive environment that consistently puts the emotional and academic success of all of its students first, always!  It’s an amazing school to walk into each day. I LOVE MY JOB! It’s my goal as a third-grade teacher to establish a classroom that provides a safe environment that allows children to take risks! I will consistently emphasize the importance of community, and to respect each other’s individuality and abilities.  In this safe environment, each student will thrive to do their individual academic and social best! 
My husband, Tim, and I have been married for 33 years and have three wonderful children, Kyle, Chris, and Katie. All three children and their spouses live in West Michigan. Our family loves to spend time together! With everyone’s hectic schedules we appreciate those simple moments when we can watch a movie together or just share a meal. Some of our favorite memories are simply at the dinner table sharing stories and creating new memories.
 I have many varied interests, but technology has to be one of the tops!  I’m always fiddling around on my computer trying to learn something new to quench my curiosity to learn. Looking for fun and creative ways to use technology in the classroom effectively is something I am always trying to incorporate into my teaching. I must admit that any tool involving technology interests and intrigues me!  
 
What do I like to do for fun?  For foot stomping, hand clapping big smiles fun? Well, my husband and I enjoy listening to country music, and going to country concerts!
