Welcome to Mrs. Greenwalt’s 3rd Grade!!! 

Hello & Welcome 3rd grade students and families! Welcome to Room 1515, my name is Heather Greenwalt, and I will be your child’s teacher this year. I am very excited to meet each student and start a terrific year of learning.  Third grade is such an exciting and the most MAGICAL year!

My classroom will be a nurturing and safe learning environment for each of my students as they learn and grow. It is my hope that everyone will have an extremely positive year with tremendous growth, but one that will include lots of joy and laughter as well. I will do everything I can to make that possible. I assure you that we will have an amazing time as we begin making new connections, friendships, and learn together. We will have fabulous opportunities for getting to know each other and create a wonderful community of friends that is kind, caring, and a safe place.

A little bit more about me! My husband, Nathan and I have been married 26 years, we have three kids, and all three of our children attended Capitol Hill. My two daughters Nora (a sophomore) and Noelle (a senior), attend Grand Canyon University, in Phoenix, AZ. My son, Noah, graduated from at Grand Canyon University, in 2024, majored in Chemistry, and now works at 3M, and just got married May 2025!

Over the summer, I spent most days outdoors tending to my gardens, visiting my neighbors, walking, enjoying time with my family! I also love singing, and traveling. This summer we traveled to London, Uzbekistan to teach English, and Montana to visit friends and family. A few summers ago, I completed my Masters in Curriculum & Instruction, with a specific emphasis on Gifted Education.

This is my 8th year teaching at Capitol Hill; my fifth year in 3rd grade.  In the years prior, I taught 2nd grade at Jackson Magnet, then stayed home while my children were young. I was also a substitute teacher at Capitol Hill for seven years, prior to joining the 5th grade team, in 2018.

Parents, I am here for you and your child, should you have any questions or concerns. If you ever need to reach me, I am always available on email or phone call.  I do have a Google voice phone number which will always be at the bottom of my emails. If it is easier, we can always schedule a Google meeting or phone call as well. My door is always open.

Get ready to have a JOY-FILLED year, 3rd graders!  I can’t wait to see YOU on Thursday, August 28th at our Open House!!
