About Mr. Pham...
I grew up in Texas and moved to Stockton in 1992. After high school, I went to UCLA majoring in Biology. I also hold a Bachelor's in Education and a Master's degree in Educational Technology.
During my years as a teacher, I've taught 3rd-8th grades. I've been at Rio since 2015-2016 and every class was enjoyable and memorable. I love being in a classroom helping students. I love to see them laugh, having fun, and be successful. I want students to enjoy being in school, and being around happy kids makes me happy. 😊
When not at school, I enjoy spending time with my family: My wife Kim, daughter Kayla, and three sons, Andrew, Patrick, Matthew. I like to read mystery novels, work around the house, weekend basketball with friends, and enjoy fishing from time to time. My hobbies include art, music, collecting cards and computer stuff.
I'm looking forward to sharing this year with all parents and students.
You can reach me anytime by using ClassDojo, or e-mail ([email protected]).
Sincerely,
Toan Pham
