Hi!... My name is Alicia Swarens and I am your child's second grade teacher.  I graduated from the University of Louisville in 2002 with a B.S. in Business Management and then again in 2004 with a Masters of Arts in Teaching.  I started teaching at North Harrison Elementary in 2004.  I have taught kindergarten, 5th grade, and this will be my second year in 2nd.  I love to do hands on activities, use manipulatives, and enrich your child's learning experiences through thought and inquiry.  I love the curiosity and energy of young children and am looking forward to introducing them to the wonderful world around them by integrating content in all areas.  I believe that education should be fun, exciting, and challenging.  I am looking forward to a rewarding year with your child.
