First Grade

Triangle Elementary School

Miss Froehlich and Miss Dolley

My name is Beverly Ann (Sarah) Froehlich. I moved to Virginia from Phoenix, Arizona in June, 2004. My arrival was more recent than prior generations of my family. Many came to Virginia in 1692. My younger brother also lives here with his wife, Beth. Beth is a school nurse in Stafford Virginia. I am so happy to be back in Virginia near my family in Fredericksburg, Virginia.

I have been teaching for two decades. In Phoenix, I was a bilingual teacher for grades K, 1, 2, 3 and 5. In Stafford County, I taught first grade for two years. In September, 2006, I will join the faculty and staff at Triangle Elementary School in Prince William County, Virginia as a first grade teacher and fifth grade American history I. Additionally, I have taught preschool and elementary special education. My undergraduate degree is from Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio. While in Arizona, I completed my master's degree in bilingual special education in 1989. The most challenging and rewarding professional growth was becoming a National Board Certified Teacher (early childhood) in November, 2003. I love my profession especially making history come alive. It is amazing to witness the growth a student makes in such a short time.

In September, 2007, moved to fifth grade. New experiences are challenging but provide a wonderful time for personal and professional growth. I will be teaching social studies and one block of language arts this year at Triangle Elementary School. I love history and look forward to sharing my passion for history and creating some historical excitement with my new students. Additionally, I have taught civics and the We the People program at the middle school level. Currently, I am a special education teacher/intervention in a resource setting at an elementary school in Arizona.

The pug picture on this page is Miss Dolley. She is named after Dolley Madison. Dolley is a real clown. In July, 2006, Dolley's cousin, Eleanor Roosevelt, (a pug) came home with her from Phoenix, Arizona. We all drove back together and it was a fun adventure for all. Two of my three daughters live away from Virginia. My oldest daughter, Stephanie, is an assistant principal in Arizona. Jennifer, newly married, lives in California and is in nursing school. Caroline recently graduated from the University of Arizona and moved to Virginia. . I also have a grandson, Matthew, who is 6 years old and a granddaughter, Rylan, age 2. My daughters are my best work in life outside of teaching.

In 2008-2009 I was a middle school civics teacher at Fred Lynn in Prince William County, Virginia. During this time, I was very involved with a great program called We the People sponsored by the Center for Civic Education. My students truly gained some wonderful learning experiences and gained in self-confidence and personal growth. They competed in classroom and regional congressional debates in Virginia. The We the People program of study is remarkable and all civics/history teachers should incorporate this in their classroom instruction and practice. It is the best method of learning for all students. Teachers who are interested should contact their local We the People state coordinator for information. You will absolutely fall in love with We the People. Due to my return to Phoenix, I do not have a classroom group to sponsor this year. However, I am still encouraging other teachers and students to get involved.
