Mrs. Carly Brown

My name is Carly Brown. This is my twelfth year teaching, but my third year teaching at STREAM. I am excited for another year teaching technology to kindergartners through second grade. 

I was born and raised in Oroville, and have continued to live here. For my early education, I attended Palermo Union School District and Las Plumas High School. I then went to Butte College and earned an AA in Liberal Studies and continued my education at Chico State where I graduated with Summa Cum Laude honors. I also completed the credential program at Chico State, while student teaching second grade at Helen Wilcox and fourth grade at Golden Hills. I was hired at Palermo Middle School, and it is where I stayed for six years teaching sixth, seventh, and eighth grade. I decided to transfer to Helen Wilcox where I taught second grade for three years in my mother’s old classroom! I loved teaching both the older and younger grades.  

While I am not teaching I am usually reading, writing, traveling, or spending time with my friends and family. I love to explore new places and go on adventures. My goal is to travel to all 50 states, and I am currently at number 37. Reading is a passion of mine, and I spend much of my free time sipping tea with a good book in my backyard. I also enjoy photography and writing and have published my first poetry book called the elements of you. I’m obsessed with Studio Ghibli, Star Wars, Marvel, Lord of the Rings, and a few other franchises. I live with my wonderful husband, calico cat, and an adorable husky. 

I am so excited for this school year! Technology has always been a passion of mine. A few years ago I completed many technology courses through Chico State in order to stay up with the new programs, equipment, and devices. It was very educational, and I can’t wait to continue implementing them this year. I am looking forward to meeting all my new and returning students and to foster a love of learning through collaboration, critical thinking, innovation, and of course technology!
