About Ms. Urdahl

Hello friends! My name is Karissa Urdahl. I am so excited to be joining the RMAE family this year teaching spectacular second graders!

A little about me... I am originally from Montana, but I have lived in Colorado most of my life. I graduated from University of Northern Colorado in 2018, where I received my BA in Elementary Education. Over the course of my career, I have worked as a special needs para for Kindergarten students, taught first grade, and taught second grade (my favorite)! In the summer, I work at ENOR Environmental Discovery Camp where I help students explore the outdoors, learn about nature, and develop survival skills. 

When I am not teaching, I cannot help but get distracted by the beautiful Colorado landscape. I love to go hiking, camping, and adventuring with my dog. I also enjoy reading, playing soccer, and relaxing in nature. Whenever I have the opportunity, I love traveling to see new places and my family.

This year is more than a little crazy and chaotic! But, I am so excited to have you in my class.  We will have so much fun and I promise we will all  learn together!
