Mrs. Melissa Bosman

I’m Melissa Bosman and this will be my sixth year teaching at STREAM! I'm looking forward to another great year teaching 2nd grade.

I was born and raised in Marin County and moved to Chico in 2011 to pursue a bachelors in Liberal Studies and a minor in Spanish at Chico State. Once I graduated, I went into the credential program where I had the opportunity to student teach in both a Spanish-immersion kindergarten classroom (taught in 90% Spanish and 10% English) and a fourth grade classroom. It was such a great experience to put my degree and my minor to use and get experience working in the classroom. It also left me feeling open to teaching many different grade levels. 

      I spent my first year teaching 5th grade at Paradise Elementary School and then I had the opportunity to move to 2nd grade. I fell in love with 2nd grade and I have been there ever since! After we lost our school in the Camp Fire, I had the opportunity to come to STREAM and it has been one of the biggest blessings in my life. This is now my ninth year teaching and eighth year with 2nd graders and I couldn’t be happier to continue my career at STREAM. Teaching is truly my passion and I strive to be a more effective, knowledgeable, and skilled teacher each and every year. A classroom and learning environment that encourages and promotes high expectations, a loving atmosphere, student success for every child, and a place where parents know that their child will be treated with respect and fairness, is what I strive for as a teacher. I want your child to be somewhere that I would be happy to send my own children.

      I live in Chico with my husband Ryan, our son Parker, and our golden retriever Kinley. We are also expecting our second baby in November! I used to spend most of my time on outdoor adventures, but life has slowed down a lot for us as we are soaking up our time as a new family. I love cooking, reading, crafting, and taking my son on smaller adventures. He’ll be offroading, rooftop tent camping, and hiking with us soon enough!

      I'm so excited for this coming school year and to get to know my students and their families!!
