Welcome! My name is Ashley Duvel, this is my sixth year teaching. First grade is a new grade for me, I have taught Kindergarten for the last five years. I definitely love the primary grade age! I am from Grand Rapids, MI. I graduated from Eastern Michigan Univeristy with a Bachelor's of Science in Elementary Education and Language Arts. I did not always want to be a teacher, but have always loved working with children. Being a teacher is definitely my purpose, I find so much joy in those "lightbulb moments and figuring out how each child learns!

I have been married for three years to my husband Ryan. We have one fur baby, Captain and we welcomed our first child, Jackson, last November!
