Welcome to Room 4! I am thrilled to be a part of your child's first school experiences at Reed Elementary.
My name is Teresa Yoneko Ohta Bowe. I am a California native and I grew up in Cypress (about ten minutes away from Disneyland!). I graduated from UC San Diego, where I played volleyball, majored in Sociology, and minored in Japanese Studies. I attended the University of San Francisco for graduate school, where I received a multiple subject teaching credential and a Master of Arts in Teaching Reading. (Fun fact: I completed my masters thesis project under the guidance and instruction of Reed Principal Dr. Mary Niesyn!)

My husband and I got married in Hawaii (where my dad is from) in 2012. In 2015 we moved to Greenbrae from San Francisco and we LOVE the Marin sunshine. In December 2016 we grew from a family of two to a party of three with the birth of our daughter, Avery. She is now 20 months old and so much fun. She is running, jumping, and talking a mile a minute. She loves to play in her kitchen and go to the park to play with "big kids."
My parents currently live in Long Beach, CA, but most of my aunts, uncles, and cousins still live in Hawaii, and it is one of my favorite places to visit! I also have two sisters and the most adorable niece and nephew in the world - Little Miss Marley (6 years old) and Big Brady Boy (almost 4)!
I love reading, hiking, spending time with my family, and catching up with friends. And I LOVE teaching!
This will be my fifth year as a teacher at Reed. Prior to joining the Reed community, I taught at All Souls School in South San Francisco. Along the way I also did my student teaching in a fifth grade class at Clarendon Elementary, and taught English in Japan. I look forward to working together with you this year...Welcome to the Reed School Family!
