About The Teacher

    Hello!  My name is Dave Byrnes and I teach Fourth grade at Riverview 
Elementary School.  I went to Lansing Community College for two years then 
transferred to Michigan State University where I earned my B.A. Degree in 
Elementary Education.  I have taught for 29 years.  

During my first years of teaching, I coached middle school baseball and 
basketball.  
I have attained graduate training from six universities with my main focus 
being Math and Gifted education.  I have also attended Confratute at the 
University of Connecticut. 
    My students know that I have high expectations for them.  I expect every 
student to do his or her best. Getting homework done is an important part 
of 
that process.  I also believe that communication with parents is critical to 
the success of each student.  
 
    I enjoy reading, golfing, fishing, and walking.  I also like to travel 
with my family and visiting family and friends. 
    I love teaching as each day is different and poses a variety of new and 
exciting challenges.  AS I have enjoyed working with the children in Big 
Rapids in the past, I am looking forward to working with your child in the 
future.
