Vivian Jiangwei Sun (姜老师)
Hi, 4th graders, families, and friends,
Welcome to 4th grade! I’m Mrs. Vivian Jiangwei Sun. Students call me Jiang Laoshi (姜老师).
It's my great honor to be your child's 4th-grade teacher. I have 16 years of teaching experience with a master's degree in elementary education from Concordia University. I am also an Apple Learning Coach, and I strive to integrate technology into my teaching and students' everyday learning.
I was born and grew up in the Northeast part of China. Winter is my favorite season, and I love EVERY snowy day! I moved to Minnesota for snow in 2013 (Yeah! Snow~). I have an awesome husband who always supports me and a sweet daughter who enjoys exploring everything. I am a train lover. I also like pizza, picnics, and BBQ. In my spare time, I love Chinese calligraphy, traditional Chinese painting, carving seal stones, and spending time with my family. Please see the pictures for some of my artwork.
I started my teaching career as an English teacher in a foreign language college in China in 2008. After moving to America, I joined Yinghua Academy (a Chinese immersion school in Minneapolis), and taught Chinese Language Arts, Math, Social Studies and Science for five years there. I joined Jie Ming as the 4th grade Chinese teacher in 2020, and have been teaching Chinese since then. This year, besides Chinese, I will also teach 4th grade math class. I feel very excited about it and couldn't wait to explore math with all of our students!
The teaching experiences in China and America have broadened my horizons and enriched my view of the world. I hope to share with my students the beauty of traditional Chinese culture while growing together with them.
I have high expectations for my students, and I'm looking forward to a successful year. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out via wei.jiang@spps.org. I will be more than happier to collaborate with you. Together we will help students grow to better themselves. Let's have some fun learning Chinese this year!
