About The Teacher

Ms. Katie Maybaum was born in Loveland, Colorado and lived there until she 
was in 5th grade. She moved to Tempe, Arizona in the 6th grade where she 
stayed until graduating from high school.

Ms. Maybaum received a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education, 
Summa Cum Laude at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, AZ.

She moved to Round Rock, Texas in 2002 and began teaching at Cedar Valley 
Middle school as a long term substitute in two 6th grade world cultures 
classes and a 7th grade science class.

Ms. Maybaum began teaching 5th grade at Brushy Creek Elementary in 2003. She 
is qualified to teach all general education classes (math, reading, writing, 
social studies, and science) but is now teaching a Science/Language Arts 
class. Ms. Maybaum has taught all of the 5th grade curriculum and can answer 
questions about math and social studies. Ms. Maybaum is also qualified as an 
ESOL teacher.

In 2005 Ms. Maybaum signed on to be the campus' science mentor teacher in the
ACC Science Collaborative. She attended over 100+ hours of workshops and
conferences each year to become more science savy. After 4 years, she has
stepped down and another campus member, Mrs. Janish, will be taking her place
this year. During the summer of 2007, 2008, and 2009 Ms. Maybaum was selected
to go to LiftOff, a NASA program that explored robotics in space, future
exploration of Mars, and celestial travelers with 40+ other teachers from
around the United States.

In July of 2009, Ms. Maybaum was selected for a team of 4 teachers to design
an experiment and fly it on the Zero-G aircraft which simulates
weightlessness. She was able to experience Lunar gravity, Martian gravity and
Zero-gravity during 42 parabolas (about 20 minutes of total weightlessness)
while conducting two updated experiments from Christa McAulliffe's Lost
Lessons during the Challenger mission that exploded on take off in the 1980s.
Ms. Maybaum will certainly share her experiences of this 10-day Ellington
Field experience with her students.

On top of teaching, Ms. Maybaum has been a student council sponsor since 
2004 and was able to get a recycling bin placed on our campus during the 
2005-2006 school year. Our campus is now a recycling fiend and has built a 
fabulous recycling program. She also leads a church youth group on the weekends.

Ms. Maybaum is an avid reader and is sadly addicted to Mt. Dew. Soda cannot 
be exchanged for good grades! :P

Ms. Maybaum is proud and privileged to be able to teach each child that 
enters her room. She hopes to inspire and encourage each student to do their 
personal best and become a life-long learner with interactive and thought-
provoking lessons.
