Introduction
My name is Kerry Parish-Philp and I teach third grade at Francis Parker School in San Diego, CA. You can view our school’s web site or check out my class page. While teaching is often an exhausting and challenging profession, it’s also very rewarding: not only do I get to expand their learning and thinking, but I also get to learn from them, too! Add to that a most caring and supportive family of colleagues and I have one of the best jobs in the world!

Favorites
Eating out is a favorite pastime of mine, unfortunately for my waistline. Here is a list of my current and past faves:
 * 1) Mexican – Ortega’s in Hillcrest or El Callejon in Encinitas, depending on what mood I am in
 * 2) Thai – Siam Nara in Mira Mesa or Celadon in Hillcrest
 * 3) Indian – Bombay in Hillcrest
 * 4) California – George’s in La Jolla. Always on the patio with a view.

A Burning Question
//How do I best keep up to ensure that I'm applying the best new practices and tools without sacrificing the quality of my teaching by spreading myself too thin? Not just with technology but with all the curricular areas?//
