Meet Mrs. Bloom

Hi!  My name is Amy Bloom and I teach 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grades at Hillel.  I work collaboratively 
with Mrs. Boltz, and together, we are excited to challenge students to become inquisitive learners and 
problem-solvers.  Using grade-level learning standards as a guide, students in my class are guided 
through the process of gathering information and answering questions in order to acquire new 
knowledge.  We utilize reading materials through a variety of sources such as books, articles, and 
websites. We search for other means of obtaining information such as videos, powerpoint 
presentations, and interactive materials, and we ask questions of experts to facilitate deeper 
comprehension.  The goal is for each student to develop active inquiry skills, opening up a world of 
learning.

When I’m not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my husband, Mike, and our 3 kids; Adam (22), Sarah (19), and Ellie (15).  We love to travel, especially to the mountains, the beach, and big cities. My favorite travel destination is Israel and I hope to become fluent in Hebrew in the future.  

I look forward to a school year full of wonder, exploration, and growth with each of your student 
problem-solvers!
