Who is Mrs. Hirsch?
Hello! My name is Mrs. Hirsch, though I am also still called Ms. Schiff by former students. I grew up in both the Metro Detroit area of Michigan, and in Tamuning, Guam (where I spend many of my summers). I have always had a passion for teaching and learning; a passion I hope to continue to instill in students as well. I spent a year in Israel as a volunteer, teaching English to Jewish and Arab middle school students. Shortly after, I graduated from Kalamazoo College in 2010 with a Bachelor of Liberal Arts and was accepted into the Teach for America program. I spent two years living and teaching on the Navajo Indian Reservation in New Mexico as a second and fifth grade teacher before moving to Calibre Academy in 2012. I am highly qualified to teach Elementary K-8 and am currently working on my Master’s Degree in Elementary Education.
More than my experience in education, I have other passions I enjoy bringing into the classroom: photography, scuba diving, speaking other languages, trying new experiences, and most of all, my time traveling and living abroad. I am able to share these experiences with my class by integrating them into our science and social studies lessons, and I encourage students’ creativity to do the same with their own life experiences.
I am truly looking forward to the beginning of the new school year and I would like to welcome you and your student to the CAPP class. Sixth grade is a very exciting year filled with self-discovery, serious learning, and both personal and social growth. You should expect your child to come home exhausted from all the thinking and creating that they do in the classroom and excited about all the connections they have made. I hope to be a partner with you this year, to make sure your child is challenged and fully prepared for the academics, social changes, and responsibilities that will be required of them throughout middle school, high school, and college.
I can't wait to see the great things your student will do this year!

Get txt reminders!

In an effort to better communicate with parents and students, I have signed up with Remind. This free service allows me to send text "blasts" to all subscribers. Simply follow the directions below and you will automatically receive any messages I send out regarding projects, schedules, homework changes, etc. This is a closed system. we will not have access to each other's cell phone numbers. You will not be able to text back. My hope is to use the service to send out reminders and other important information.

Directions to sign up for Reminder Blasts:
text @6capp to (623) 552-4899
** Remind just changed the number to txt in order to sign up (the one above is correct). If you are already subscribed, you do not need to sign up again.
Once you text @6capp to that number you will receive a confirmation that you are subscribed and will be prompted to respond with your name. No one will see your name, it simply allows me to know who is and is not part of the reminder blasts.

"I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."
