This is my 11th year teaching third grade and my third year at Hayden Peak. When I’m not scouring Pinterest for fun ideas to use in my classroom, I enjoy spending time with my family enjoying the outdoors. I also love to travel every chance I get.
I have been teaching at Hayden Peak since 2006. First, teaching PE, then second grade, and now third, with a few years off in between. When I’m not teaching I’m working on house projects or you can find me in the mountains with my dog Bear. We like to trail run, go hiking, and occasionally take a road trip to the beach. But the real adventure is teaching. The good times, bad times and especially the fun times! I love what I do and love spending time with such amazing, smart kids!
I am so excited to be teaching third grade for the first time! I love learning and sharing my enthusiasm for it with my students is the best part of teaching. I taught first grade in Jordan District for 5 years and Meet the Masters at Hayden Peak for 3 years. When school is out you’ll find me in the sunshine playing games, reading, exploring with my boys or working with my husband on his food trucks.
I am excited to be teaching 3rd grade and I love being here at Hayden Peak! I have also taught 1st and Kindergarten prior to 3rd grade. I love learning new things with my students each day together as a learning community. Teaching brings me such joy in my life and I cherish the relationships that I have with my students each year. When I’m not in my classroom, I enjoy reading, shopping, playing board games, anything Disney, and getting ready for any upcoming holiday.
Hi! My name is Kelanee Worthington. I am so excited to teach 3rd Grade at Hayden Peak Elementary School! I graduated from Utah Valley University with a Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education. I started my teaching career as a 4th Grade Intern in the Canyons School District. My favorite part of teaching is making connections and forming lasting relationships with each of my students! When I am not at school I enjoy going to the gym, being with my friends and family, and traveling. I’ve been to South Africa, Haiti, and the Dominic Republic. I love Almond Joys, energy drinks, and sushi.
