Welcome to Mrs. Diekman's Classroom!

              My name is April Diekman and I will be your child’s 3rd grade teacher this year.  I am looking forward to an exciting and productive year working with you and your child.  

            Since I will be spending so much time with your child this year, I would like to take this opportunity to tell you a little about myself.  This will be my ninth year teaching third grade at Central.  Prior to this, I taught 2^nd grade at Burton Glen Academy for a year and a half.   I have my Bachelor’s degree with a major in language arts and a minor in social studies.  I also have a Master’s degree in Early Childhood Education.

My husband James and I have three sons: Collin is sixteen years old, Aaron will be eleven this October and Dean who is seven years old. In addition, we have a Newfoundland dog named Carter, an Austrailian Sheperd named Birch, and a few chickens.  I love camping, kayaking, gardening, and anything to do outside.

Our room number is 121.  You can find my classroom in the 3rd-6th grade hallway. I am the 2nd room down from the office.   Our lockers are right by our classroom.   

As a teacher, I am very committed to the importance of parent involvement in a student’s education. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. My email is april.diekman@flushingschools.org.  You may also call our classroom and leave a message at 591-1911.  I welcome your calls and messages. 

Sincerely,

Mrs. Diekman
